Neil Mechanic: Medium dark ruby. The bouquet is packed with dried Morello cherry, forest floor and earth tones laced with Chinese five spice and cinnamon notes. After a decant, Pommard's cla...

Burghound: Here the expressive nose is slightly more elegant with the barest hint of wood framing cool and airy red pinot fruit that is liberally laced with Gevrey style earth that is al...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2009 Savigny-les-Beaune Les Jarrons emerges from the glass with layers of dark red fruit, sweet spices and minerals. It shows terrific depth, freshness and vibrancy from s...

Burghound: A slightly riper nose speaks primarily of dark berry fruit and warm earth aromas that are in keeping with the intensely earthy and opulent full-bodied flavors that possess goo...

About this Wine: Gevrey-Chambertin wines are deep in colour with fine expressive aromas.

When young they suggest blackcurrants and other red or black soft fruits, with hints of liquoric...

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...

Burghound: A relatively high-toned nose speaks of red berry fruit, warm earth, spice and similar floral notes that introduce detailed and admirably pure flavors that are lilting yet punc...

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...

Burghound: This is very ripe, indeed even a bit jammy (but not Porto-like) with surprisingly good freshness given the elevated level of ripeness. The seductively-textured flavors possess...

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...

Wine Spectator: A solid, even square, style, showing an iron cast to its cherry and red berry notes. The tannins are on the drying, astringent side, yet there's still plenty of fruit up front...

Jeff Loo: Pinkish ruby at the core with very little variation at the rim. The nose is very pretty, with notes of cherry, violet and a touch of animale, followed by hints of spice and ea...

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...

Burghound: Outstanding. Here the expressive nose is also quite earthy with distinctly ripe yet reasonably fresh red currant and plum aromas leading to intense, mouth coating and quite se...

Burghound: Leroux indicated that there was some declassified 1er juice in the blend. This is also extremely pretty and relatively high-toned with airy and cool yet ripe red pinot fruit a...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Good full red. Crushed wild raspberry, wild herbs and an exotic suggestion of peach nectar on the nose. Juicy, tight and delicate, with a strong acidity and lovely floral perf...
