Cellar/Tasting Notes
"This is a taut wine, touched by yeast and warmed by ripe yellow fruit. Flavors of melon and spice from the new wood give it an open feel. It’s ripe, already rounded and full bodied."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
A discreet touch of wood sets off a ripe, fresh and completely classic Meursault nose of hazelnut, yellow orchard fruit and softly spiced pear aromas that give way to rich, full-bodied and opulent flavors that retain a fine sense of cut and plenty of energy on the agreeably dry, balanced and long..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Less prominent oak fights less with the very fresh red pinot fruit and stone aromas. There is excellent verve to the well-detailed and soil-inflected medium-bodied flavors that possess controlled power on the balanced and impressively long finish. The supporting tannins are fine-grained and an apt..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The 2010 Nuits St. Georges Les Charmois is gorgeous. High-toned floral notes open up beautifully in the glass, followed by expressive red berries, licorice and spices. The 2010 possesses striking inner perfume, layers of supple fruit and the silkiest of tannins."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Very generous wood marks the nose of raspberry liqueur and wet stone aromas. There is a lush, round and lavish mouth feel to the pleasantly textured medium-bodied flavors that possess fine volume on the firm if not especially vibrant flavors that offer very good depth and length..."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"More moderate though far from invisible wood frames distinctly spicy and sauvage aromas of menthol, earth, plum and smoked meat nuances. There is fine volume and solid ripeness to the very firm supporting tannins that shape the medium weight and quite suave flavors that possess a bit more punch..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"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
"... 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
