Burghound, January 2011

Here the lightly perfumed nose is both fresher and more elegant, offering up a mix of high-toned red pinot fruit and earth aromas that give way to refined, pure and seductively textured flavors that display a subtle hint of minerality on the mouth coating finish. This is not as complex as the best of these 1ers but there is enough depth of material that greater depth may very well develop.

Garnet with a pale ruby rim. The lightly perfumed nose offers cinnamon, cola, ripe cherry, and fresh currant aromas. The bright and expressive palate is full of pure and seductive red cherry, wet leather, and dried flower flavors, along with a dusty minerality and supple, chewy tannins that blend seamlessly with juicy acidity. The hint of dark fruit just below the surface will be more evident after a few years of aging.

The 2009 Morey St. Denis Les Ruchots is totally dark, rich and enveloping in its sensual fruit. This is a beautiful, voluptuous style of Morey. I commented that this was the most `Michel Magnien styled' wine in the Maison lineup to which Frederic Magnien replied that this was the one vineyard he owned among all the parcels that inform the negociant label. Interestingly, the parcel is worked along the exact same lines as the Michel Magnien wines but the fruit is vinified in the Frederic Magnien part of the winery. Magnien uses this parcel to try out new techniques before he applies them to the Domaine wines.

Good deep red. Ripe aromas of raspberry, mocha, smoke and flint. Supple, rich and deep but not overly sweet, with good mineral and menthol lift to its raspberry fruit. Tannins are sweet but firm and the very long finish coats the palate with spices and flowers. Very promising.
