Burghound: A ripe but relatively closed and reserved nose grudgingly speaks of earth and plenty of sauvage character on the dark berry fruit scents. There is good concentration and ample...

Burghound: This is the most complex of the three '09 grands crus with a penetrating and ripe nose of plum, pungent earth, game, black cherry and violets. The full-bodied, dense and overt...

Roland Hankerson: Ruby core. Very subtle aromas, with hints of cherry, cola, and floral perfume. The palate is more expressive, accentuating these notes and providing a bit of additional black ...

Burghound: Very ripe (indeed there are background hints of roasted fruit) and complex aromas give way to rich, intense and overtly muscular flavors that possess imposing size and weight ...

Tracey Rose: This entry level Burgundy has a wonderfully saturated color from core to rim, sporting typical aromas for this appellation – black cherry, purple flower and sandalwood. Sweet,...

Burghound: This is also very ripe though the cassis, plum and warm earth aromas stop just short of that roasted character that some '09s display. The supple, round and forward middle wei...

Burghound: Note: from vines situated in En Orveaux planted in 1923, 1947, 1964 and 1979 totaling .56 ha. As is it in 2010, this is notably riper with spicy aromas of dark berry and viole...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Good red color. Redcurrant, truffle, smoked meat and chocolate on the nose. At once liqueur-like and energetic, with solid saline extract leavening the red berry and chocola...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Bright ruby. Much more reticent on the nose and palate than the village wine, with a pronounced minerality to the blackberry and licorice components. Tightly wound but still v...

Burghound: Note: 50+ year old vines raised in 15% new wood. A deft touch of wood sets of very pretty and very Chambolle-like aromas that are airy and delicate, reflecting a high-toned fr...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Good full red. Complex, expressive, soil-driven nose offers raspberry, cocoa powder, spices and flinty minerality. Sappy and sweet in the mouth, with a penetrating quality to ...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Good medium red. Reticent but lively aromas of black cherry, cassis, licorice and menthol, with some riper notes of mocha and chocolate coming up with air. Juicy but a bit y...

Wine Enthusiast: A powerful wine, very structured with wood, coffee notes and dark tannins. It feels extracted, although the weight of fruit is certainly enough to handle that. It’s for the lo...

Burghound: A very pretty nose of discreet spice notes, red currants and damp earth nuances that continue onto the rich, powerful and impressively concentrated medium-bodied flavors bless...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2009 Corton-Cuvee de Bourdon is a freakish, dark wine endowed with loads of jammy fruit, white flowers, licorice and spices. It is a sumptuous, even extreme wine that is n...

About this Wine: "Wines from Gevrey -Chambertin are highly coloured and with intense aromatic expression evocative of blackcurrant berries and other small red and black fruit, there are animal...

Wine Spectator: This is juicy, with blackberry, boysenberry and pomegranate flavors converging on the firm tannins. There's acidity too, giving this a lean, austere profile by the finish. The...
