Cellar/Tasting Notes
"… stunning purity and precision… deep, pure and very stony in personality, with a great core of fruit, utterly refined, but serious tannins, bright acids and superb focus and grip on the very long, soil-driven finish."

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
"The 2009 Marsannay Les Grasses Tetes emerges from the glass with layers of vibrant dark cherries, flowers and mint. This translucent, sexy Marsannay is striking and exceptionally beautiful. Les Grasses Tetes is a clay-rich vineyard that yields wines of considerable generosity." (Antonio Galloni)

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Rich and supple, showing cherry, vanilla and mineral aromas and flavors, this red is almost creamy, giving way to dense tannins..."

"The 2010 Volnay bursts from the glass with bright red fruit, flowers, mint and spices. There is a nervous energy to the Volnay that is incredibly appealing. Beautifully articulated saline notes contribute briskness on the finish. This is a flat-out delicious Volnay."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Moderate wood influence fights just a bit with the otherwise very fresh and pretty aromas that display a significant floral component along with ripe scents of plum, cassis and earth. There is fine mid-palate density and excellent phenolic maturity to the large-scaled yet refined flavors that..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
Here the very toasty oak aromas presently dominate the otherwise ripe underlying fruit. There is good freshness and verve to the exceptionally rich, powerful and concentrated broad-shouldered flavors that exude a finer minerality that continues onto the gorgeously long finish. There is so much..

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..
