Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2009 Gevrey-Chambertin Petite Chapelle is the most complete of the 1ers from Gevrey. A striking, expressive bouquet melds into layers of dark fruit that caress the palate ...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2009 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes is another of the more open, accessible wines in this lineup. This isn't the last word in complexity, but the wine has the density a...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Good deep red. Very ripe aromas of cherries macerated in alcohol, mocha and wild herbs. Generous, pliant and highly concentrated, with lovely floral, mineral and minty high ...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Good deep red. Lovely lift to the aromas of black cherry, blackberry, violet and smoked meat. Juicy, spicy and nicely delineated, with lovely cut to the blackberry, spice an...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Medium red. Black cherry, violet and a whiff of smoked meat on the nose. Supple, fat and creamy-sweet; quite round for this cuvee in the early going, and far more pliant tha...

John Gilman: The Marsannay villages from the Domaine Roty is excellent in 2009, offering up a lovely blend of the succulent fruit of the vintage and the lovely soil tones of this underrate...

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...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Medium red. Wild, gamey nose offers redcurrant, rose petal and hints of leather and game. Silky and sweet but with nice acid definition serving to highlight the elegant, fre...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Juicy, precise aromas of red berries, cherry, spices and mocha, plus a whiff of menthol. Juicy, fine-grained and densely packed but a bit medicinal today. For all its richnes...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Moderately saturated medium red. Ripe red berries and mocha on the lively nose and palate. Fat, supple and sweet, with enough sex appeal to give pleasure right now. Plump i...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Medium red. Full-blown aromas of coffee, mocha and game. Less fruity than the basic village wine but dense, sweet and nicely fresh, with a deep middle and plenty of medicina...

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 Auxey-Duresses 1er Cru is lovely. Sweet red berries, flowers, mint and spices emerge from this supple, entry-level offering. This is a very strong showing for the Aux...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2009 Chambolle-Musigny is flashy, ripe and seductive. As good as this is, there is a slight element of heat that detracts from the wine's overall balance. Anticipated matu...

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...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2009 Charmes-Chambertin needs quite a bit of time in the glass to come together. Initially quite ripe and exotic, the Charmes gradually finds its balance. Still, my sense ...

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...

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: Fresh, showing a nice purity to the red and black cherry fruit, fragrant spice notes and tangy minerality. Elegant and balanced, with a moderate finish. Drink now through 2022...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2009 Gevrey-Chambertin is clearly the best of the three village wines. It possesses lovely focus in its fruit, beautifully delineated aromatics and terrific overall balanc...
