Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The 2010 Meursault Genevrieres bristles on the palate with intense minerality. It is the most intensely saline, taut Meursault in this lineup, and accordingly needs time in bottle to settle down. Vivid, crystalline fruit marks the huge, textured finish. The Genevrieres is wonderfully complete and..

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..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Bright purple. Captivating bouquet combines blackberry and blueberry liqueur, mocha, bitter chocolate and pipe tobacco, plus an exotic suggestion of incense. Compellingly rich and expansive, with vibrant black and blue fruit flavors and a strong floral quality. The smoky, spicy, very long..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"As I have consistently written in the past, this limited production cuvee, from a 12-acre site that contains a parcel of extremely old vines, 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc, is meant to last three decades or more. Tasting like a liqueur of rocks interwoven with creme de cassis, espresso roast,..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"A 100% Merlot cuvee from the plateau of Pomerol, the 2009 La Fleur de Gay exhibits striking floral, blueberry, black raspberry, graphite, and subtle oak, charcoal, and camphor notes. This fleshy, full-bodied wine possesses outstanding purity, exceptional body, and admirable opulence as well as..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"This is remarkably similar to the Beaux Monts except that there is a noticeable amount of menthol present. The suave, round and velvety middle weight flavors display an abundance of mouth coating dry extract along with fine complexity and very good if not truly striking length."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"(vinified with 80% whole clusters; this was racked and then returned to barrel): Good bright red. Raspberry, strawberry, coffee and smoke on the nose. Rich, fine-grained and pliant; wonderfully silky and sweet but with superb building energy on the back half. A Corton grand cru of noteworthy..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"This is aromatically less refined but more complex with its expressive and rather pungent nose of hazelnut, green fruit, herbal, pear and just a hint of wood. There is excellent volume to the extract rich, powerful and solidly well-concentrated medium weight flavors that possess excellent..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Under the administration of Catherine Pere-Verge, Le Gay has become a serious, super-concentrated, potentially long-lived Pomerol. The backward 2006 reveals complex notes of plums, black cherries, truffles, and chocolate in a big, masculine, full-bodied, virile style that begs for cellaring. This..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"This powerful, top-notch Pomerol is full-bodied and super-endowed, with substantial tannins largely concealed by superb fruit and extract."
