Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Noticeable reduction renders the nose difficult to evaluate. By contrast there is excellent concentration to the powerful and broad-shouldered medium weight plus flavors that are shaped by very firm and ever-so-mildly rustic tannins on the intensely earthy finish. While this will not win any..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The 2010 Vougeot Clos du Prieure Blanc caresses the palate with citrus, white flowers and minerals. There is a level of detail and nuance that distinguishes this undeniably appealing wine."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Elegant acacia blossom, lemon zest, stone and pain grille suffused nose... excellent intensity... lovely depth on the mouth coating and impressively persistent finish... a wine of class and grace."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Pure and expressive, offering raspberry, red currant and wild berry aromas and flavors, mingled with mineral and spice. Elegant and well-toned, with intensity and drive. The tannins add support and length to the berry and spice aftertaste."

"This is quite ripe with its earthy and distinctly sauvage nose of dark berry fruit, plum and violet aromas. There is excellent volume to the very rich and textured large-scaled flavors that possess an impressively persistent, complex, velvety and mouth coating finish. This is well-balanced and..

Vivid, crystalline fruit marks the huge, textured finish. The Genevrieres is wonderfully complete and..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The natural ripeness of the 2009 vintage is less apparent with the air though at the same time it accentuates the underlying structure. While the nose is certainly ripe it is not over ripe and is actually quite pretty with attractive red berry fruit, earth and very subtle mineral hints."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
A ripe and highly complex nose of floral, earth, spice and discreet wood notes all add breadth to the very fresh dark berry fruit aromas. There is good volume to the lush, round and intense medium-bodied flavors that possess a moderately firm tannic spine as well as excellent depth and length. This..
