Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Good full red. Redcurrant, raspberry, crushed stone and smoky minerality on the rather serious nose. At once silky and tangy in the mouth, with raspberry and stone flavors dominating. A step up in breadth and dimension from the foregoing wines, offering lovely inner-mouth perfume. Very..

"Bruno Clair’s 2009 Savigny-les-Beaune La Dominode is fabulous in this vintage. The warmth of the year has filled out the wine beautifully. The 2009 is ripe, exotic and flashy. I especially admire the juxtaposition of fleshiness and insistent minerality." (Antonio Galloni)

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Bright, deep red. Aromas of black cherry, licorice and minerals. Vibrant and pure, with terrific sappy energy framing the primary flavors of crushed red cherry and minerals. This fruit bomb is enlivened by fruity, peppery acidity."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"... wood combines with notes of menthol and extract of red berry fruit, earth, underbrush and game hints. There is a bit more verve to the suave and seductively textured mineral-driven flavors that offer fine depth and excellent persistence..." — Allen Meadows

Cellar/Tasting Notes

Even though this wine is young, it will gain substantially in bouquet and aromatic detail with further bottle ageing, which will help it develop profound gamey and..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Relatively strong wood influence fights somewhat with the otherwise expressive nose that is comprised of spice, earth, menthol and cassis aromas. There is fine intensity to the attractively, even seductively textured medium-bodied flavors that possess focused power and punch on the balanced and..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
Les Cazetiers 2010 has a pronounced and intense aromatic nose. The palate is firm with generous fruit, full fleshy tannins and spicy notes. Its balanced and fresh, with a nice depth that will keep for years to come.

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"A notably ripe and highly complex nose of red and black pinot fruit is cut with stone, earth and plum aromas. The big-bodied, dense and entirely serious, medium-weight-plus flavors brim with buckets of dry extract on the long, balanced and mineral-driven finish."
