Jancis Robinson: Pale smudgy rust red. Sweet, mushroomy and very fulfilling and rich (almost Algerian!?) Quite different from the 1969 and 1971 and 1978. Much gamier and richer. Burly, but nic...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2009 Chevalier-Montrachet is all about seductiveness. It is one of the more subdued, classy wines in the lineup. Sweet, perfumed and cashmere-like on the palate, the Cheva...

Wine Spectator: Hedonist alert-dense, fleshy layers of fig sauce, warm cocoa, dark currant confiture and exotic spice fill this red, which also shows plenty of grip, with a smoldering wood no...

Wine Spectator: A big, broad-shouldered style, with lots of bittersweet cocoa and coffee up front, followed by thick-textured blackberry and black currant fruit. Shows a bit more brute force ...

Wine Spectator: Breathtaking aromas of crushed blackberries, dark chocolate and cassis. Full-bodied, with big and velvety tannins and intense fruit. Long finish. Massive. But polished and ver...

Jancis Robinson: Pale fox red. Gamey and quite rich as though chaptalised more fiercely than the 1971. But lots of impact. A bit burly and brutal. A bit dry on the end. 17 / 20
