"The 2009 Javernières is just a touch riper in profile than the Côte du Py in this vintage, which is probably due to there being more clay in the soil here than further up the slope in the Côte du Py proper, which is stonier. Today, this dollop of extra ripeness comes across as just more sappy in profile, but perhaps this will start to show a bit of sur maturitÊ to its aromatic profile with extended aging? In any case, at the moment, though the wine is still a bit tannic, there is a lot to like in its very deep and sappy nose of red and black cherries, dark chocolate, laurel, espresso, a touch of sweet stem tones, dark soil elements and an exotic topnote of red curry. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, complex and very deep, with fine mineral drive, ripe, chewy tannins and a long, well-balanced and quite precise finish. To my palate, it is not quite as approachable as the 2009 Côte du Py, but every bit as good."
