"It will be great fun to compare and contrast the evolutions of the 2010 and 2009 vintages from Marcel Juge. The 2009 is another absolutely stellar young wine, with perhaps a bit more early plushness in evidence than in the slightly more structured 2010, but the same impressive depth of fruit and razor-sharp soil signature. The bouquet here delivers a superb blend of red and black raspberries, stony minerality, pepper, roasted meats, emerging spice tones, woodsmoke and a topnote of lavender and incipient violets. On the palate the wine is deep full-bodied and still quite young, with a rock solid core, ripe, seamless tannins and excellent length and grip on the focused and complex finish. As is the case with the 2010, there is no signs of the torrid nature of the vintage here and this is another great wine in the making. Like the 2010, it is possible to drink the 2009 Juge Cornas today, but it will be significantly better down the road, so I would leave it alone in the cellar."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Spans the Syrah-driven northern crus of Cote-Rotie and Hermitage and the Grenache-based blends of the warmer south, led by Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Its wines are known for power, spice and warmth.
Syrah (Shiraz) produces dark, powerful reds with black fruit, pepper and smoked-meat notes. It yields elegant, perfumed wines in the northern Rhone and bold, rich styles in Australia.
