Burghound: This is also very floral and quite elegant with primarily black pinot fruit and warm earth aromas serving as a refined introduction to the rich, full-bodied, velvet-textured a...

Burghound: A highly expressive nose of liqueur of plum and purple fruits slides gracefully into rich, full-bodied and serious flavors yet the mouth feel is really quite fine. There is go...

John Gilman: The 2009 Gravains is cut from the riper side of the Pavelot ledger this year and really comes across as an exotic and exuberant 1990-like wine. The nose is a blend of black ra...

Wine Spectator: A tight, firmly structured '09, sporting a narrow range of cherry, black currant, spice and mineral flavors. This is dense and fresh, with oak spice lingering on the finish. B...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Good full, deep red. Deeply pitched but energetic aromas of medicinal black cherry, blackberry, licorice, violet and sexy oak. Dense, silky and sweet; at once lush and firmly ...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: 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...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Good bright, deep red. Reticent aroma of medicinal dark fruits and menthol. In a distinctly backward, dry, savory style; full-bodied, masculine wine, a bit cool in the conte...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2009 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Baudes is one of the more open, radiant wines in this lineup. There is an unabashed sexiness to the fruit that is quite beautiful. This shows su...

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...

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: 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 deep red. Reticent aromas of black cherry, coffee and mocha. Fatter and riper than the Vieilles Vignes but a bit more liqueur-like and showing more oaky torrefaction. ...

Wine Spectator: A reduced smoky aroma needs air to dissipate, while underneath are pure black cherry, blackberry, violet, spice and iron flavors. Well-toned and athletic, with a graceful fini...

Wine Spectator: A burly, meaty red, packed with dark cherry and berry flavors, but also a hint of smoke and tar. On the palate, this begins with a blast of fruit, before yielding to stiff, dr...

Wine Spectator: This is rich and plush in texture, sporting blackberry and black cherry aromas and flavors. Full-bodied and muscular, needing air to open, with fine length. Give this time, or...

Jancis Robinson: Not racked. Just out of new barrel. Lovely sweet fruit and just needs a bit of time to absorb the oak. Lovely stuff. Great hedonistic purple-fruit flavours. He says `wait at l...

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 ...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Saturated medium ruby. Deep aromas of kirsch, smoke, minerals, flowers and earth are reticent but pure. Big, rich and broad, with harmonious acidity framing the black cherry, ...

Wine Spectator: Pretty black currant and floral aromas and flavors lead off in this supple Nuits, which has a solid base of tannins, but balances all the elements well. The long, fruit-filled...
