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: 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...

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 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...

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...

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...
