fter the frenzy of the Bordeaux 2009 campaign last

spring, the world has been waiting for the launch of the
Burgundian wines from the same glorious summer. The
good news is that the wines are fabulous and very few
producers have caught Bordeaux pricing fever. The bad
news is that each individual wine is in short supply, given the
fragmented nature of Burgundian vineyard holdings, so please bear
with us if we cannot supply all your needs. More wines are being
offered in cases of six bottles this year to help spread the offering.
We have revived an earlier tradition by including the top wines from
Chablis this year. New to the brochure are the delicious PulignyMontrachets from Etienne Sauzet and a trio from Ghislaine
Barthods partner Louis Boillot, and we are also offering some
canny purchases from the 2009 Hospices de Beaune auction. As
ever, there are many wines which could not be included here for
reasons of space, so do consult www.bbr.com for the full selection
which includes some juicy web exclusives.
Throughout this offer we suggest drinking dates for each wine.
Please note that these are only a guide as you will each have your
own preferences for the ideal moment to appreciate a wine,
whether in relative youth or maturity.
2009 VINTAGE REPORT

The summer of 2009 had a very different feel compared to its two
immediate predecessors. It was not without problems, notably hail
in May and some poor weather in July, but thereafter conditions
were as favourable as possible.
The flowering took place in warm sunny conditions, though
sometimes very windy, in late May and into the very start of June,
setting a likely harvest date of 10th September. Fine weather in June
with occasional heat spikes turned much more variable in July with
some heavy storms, most notably on 13th and 14th July when over
100mm of rain fell. This made life difficult for the vignerons as they
could not get into the vineyards, but fortunately caused no real damage.
The weather continued unsettled, with alternating hot and cool days,
and further storms on 22nd and 23rd July. There were occasional
signs of mildew but these were very localised. Otherwise the vines
were looking good and the grapes healthy, with vraison around the
end of the month, when the weather was improving.
August was glorious, developing into a small heatwave towards the
middle of the month before the weather broke with a welcome storm
(thunder and rain rather than anything worse) on the morning of
Friday 21st. Apart from a brief incursion from the tail end of Hurricane
Bill (25th and 26th), the weather stayed fine for the rest of the month
and growers could hardly contain their optimism.
The change of the moon suggested more unsettled weather but apart
from a drab first week of September, it looked as if the fine weather had
returned for the duration of the harvest. Picking started in the Mconnais
from around 2nd September, in the Cte de Beaune from the 5th and a
few days later in the Cte de Nuits. It continued in Chablis and the
Auxerrois through the middle of the month, in glorious sunshine
For both colours, the grapes were picked at good sugar levels but
without fear of unsuitably high degrees; the typical profile falls
between 13 and 13.5%, not reaching 14% or above, and the grapes
were fully physiologically ripe.
The key to success in 2009 has been to retain a fresh quality to wines
which are naturally rich. One technique for the reds which has been
widely used is to incorporate a percentage of the stems during
vinification. Some domaines have always done this, the majority have
tended not to. However there is a movement now towards some whole
bunch vinification with stems, and it was widely used in 2009.
RED WINES
One is tempted to want to play down the hype surrounding the 2009
vintage but it is hard to do so. While this is not 2005, a vintage of
unparalleled density and a firm tannic structure for exceptionally long
ageing, 2009 ranks among the very best vintages of recent times. At
harvest, the feeling was similar in quality and style to 1999, another
year where a large crop was able to ripen fully during a fine warm
summer. Tasting the wines, there is more of a parallel with 1990 but
maybe we should look as far back as 1959 for the best comparison, a
beautifully ripe vintage that delivered stellar quality for both red and
white wines. Time and again I find myself using the word graceful in
my tasting notes.
WHITE WINES
Contrary to initial expectations, many of the white wines in 2009 are
absolutely stunning. They began to show their true qualities only after
the summer, when a mineral backbone appeared in support of the
graceful, ripe fruit. I was reminded of 1992, completely delicious
wines designed for the medium rather than the long term. There may
not be enough acidity in 2009 to make really old bones, but they will
be absolutely compelling in their first ten years, with the most exciting
subtleties of flavours, magnificently multi-layered, such as we have
not seen in recent times.
KEY POINTS
This is a vintage both bountiful and beautiful, of good volume

and great quality
The red wines are rich, ripe and rounded

The whites are generous, and fresher than expected
The prices are rather more reasonable than for top Bordeaux!

CHABLIS
Benot Droin
Didier Sguier
Domaine Benot Droin
Domaine William Fvre
When Benot Droin took over from his father Jean-Paul, he set about refining production in two key areas:
yields were reduced to allow for greater concentration in the raw material and the oak regime was
reworked so that each vineyard could be treated differently according to its needs. This makes tasting the
full range of Benots wines, in his modern installation just below the slopes of the Grand Crus, a
fascinating experience.
Theres no question that Fvre, in its current incarnation, is at the very top of the Chablis tree. Didier
Sguier has been in charge since Henriot bought the Domaine in 1998 and they now own 12 hectares of
Premier Cru vineyards and no less than 16 hectares of Grand Crus. Everything is harvested by hand and
the Premier Crus are vinified in 40-50% oak, the Grand Crus receiving 70-80% without using new wood.
Chablis, Monte de Tonnerre, 1er Cru

This wine has an undoubtedly classy nose with real
depth of flavour. Smooth, harmonious and very much
in balance, this is a multi-layered and soothing wine
which will be best enjoyed in two to four years time.
Drink 2012-2016.
79163B 12 x 75CL PER CASE
186.00
Chablis, Grenouilles, Grand Cru

With a brilliant warm spicy bouquet typical of this
Grand Cru, this 2009 is a rich, opulent Chablis with a
buttery texture preceding a beautiful, classic minerality
on the finish. Drink 2013-2016.
354.00
Chablis, Monte de Tonnerre, 1er Cru

A powerfully constructed wine that is still a little
backward at this point but with real weight and great
potential for the future, thanks to the fine, balancing
acidity. Drink 2012-2016.
270.00
Chablis, Les Clos, Grand Cru

The warmth and the weight of the year are evident in
this wine with excellent acidity and a powerful mineral
core creating a perfect balance. It is reminiscent of flinty
minerals and baked rich Madeira cake, and will be
monumental when it is ready. Drink 2014-2020.
354.00
Chablis, Vaulorent, 1er Cru

This vineyard is the best subsection of Fourchaume
and the wine is a beautiful pale colour with an almost
enveloping rich white fruit behind, and peaches and
pears in evidence. It is intoxicating at the front end, yet
it remains precise; a magical bottle which will give
great pleasure early in life. Drink 2011-2015.
348.00
Chablis, Vaudsir, Grand Cru

One of the best wines in the cellar, this has depth and
weight, with a warmth that binds them beautifully
together and oak that does not show at all through the
fruit. Drink 2013-2016.
297.00
Chablis, Les Preuses, Grand Cru

There is power, weight and typical 2009 richness to
this wine, yet it manages to evade real heaviness. It
starts discreetly, then bursts forward on the palate to
present a very broad front. This will certainly stand up
to rich sauces and will clearly develop well from here.
Drink 2012-2016.
480.00
Chablis, Bougros, Cte Bougerots, Grand Cru
There is a huge volume of fruit here, though mostly in
reserve, with perfect freshness to back it all up. The
hard work ploughing by hand in the vineyard has paid
off in the pure, piercing finish, making an exceptionally
fine wine. Drink 2013-2018.
480.00
A glorious bright colour, with a perfect nose, this is an
exact representation of the vineyard. It is brilliantly
chiselled with added 2009 succulence and,
throughout the palate, this wine is infused with ripe
white fruits, rising to the majesty you would expect from
the greatest of the Grand Crus. Drink 2013-2020.

Domaine Jean-Claude Bessin
Twenty-five years ago the eminent Louis Pinson

presided over this domaine and today you are
likely to be greeted by his great-grand-daughter
Charlne. Time moves on and the wines are once
again amongst the finest of the region. They have
an excellent range of Premier Cru wines topped by
the Grand Cru Les Clos, with an intelligent blend of
barrel and tank for the vinification and maturation.
Body language can be misleading. Jean-Claude

Bessin does not have a marketing bone in his
body, unless his doleful air is deliberate counterpropaganda. In any case, the wines speak for
themselves. He is among the rare few in Chablis
who prefer to pick their grapes by hand, while
vinification takes place in a mix of tank and
barrel. Here we select two favourites out of his
range of wines.
Chablis, Vaillons, 1er Cru

With a lovely nose of white flowers and fruit building to
a fine culmination, this is a classical Vaillons, showing
very well indeed, with an incisive structure that
perfectly balances the fat of the year.
Drink 2012-2016.

Some lemon-scented notes freshen up the scintillating

the palate fully demonstrates its Grand Cru status. This
should make a spectacular wine in full maturity.

Chablis, Valmur, Grand Cru

The details in this wine are hidden as yet but the body

is an undeniably graceful wine. Drink 2013-2018.
252.00

Chablis, Mont de Milieu, 1er Cru

This wine has a stunning bouquet that heralds a really
smart Premier Cru Chablis. On the palate it is firm,
precise and brilliant with real flesh in the mouth but,
above all, it has a lovely, fresh, mineral finish.
Drink 2012-2017.
156.00
Chablis, Fourchaume, La Pice au Comte, 1er Cru

This is a special cuve from within Bessins holding of
Fourchaume, boasting extra weight and
concentration. The nose suggests yellow flowers and
mirabelle plums, making this a really concentrated
Chablis with fine balancing acidity.

Jean-Philippe Bret
Bret Brothers
Les Hritiers du Comte Lafon
Bret Brothers Domaine de la Soufrandire has been one of the most impressive producers in the
Mconnais over the past ten years and this year the two founder brothers, Jean-Philippe and JeanGuillaume, have been joined by a third sibling, Marc-Antoine. Work is about to begin to extend the
winery, not with a view to expanding the range in any significant way, but because more space is
needed to manage current production. The wines are certified organic and biodynamic and have the
attraction of being immediately appealing to drink.
The Lafon Mcon estate has really grown into its

own during the last ten years and Dominique Lafon
needs to do little more than offer guidance to his
talented local team. 2009 looks to be the finest
vintage to date and the wines continue to be
farmed biodynamically and have organic
certification. New to the label this year is the
beautifully succulent Vir-Cless, which is
produced from several hectares of vineyards leased
from Chteau de Vir.
WHITE
Mcon-Villages
This cuve is largely made from declassified barrels
acquired from grander appellations including PouillyFuiss. Best enjoyed young, it shows a lovely contrast
between soft-centred fruit and a crunchy structure.
Drink 2011-2012.
90.00
Pouilly-Fuiss, En Carementrant
Beautifully perfumed with refreshingly youthful fruit,
the flavours of this wine stretch out to the back of the
palate, where a high concentration of fruit is nicely
complemented by attractive lemon acidity.
Drink 2012-2015.
189.00
Dominique Lafon
Pouilly-Vinzelles, Les Quarts

One of Burgundys most iconic white wines, this 2009
vintage of Domaine de la Soufrandires flagship
Pouilly-Vinzelles has a pure, fine and well-chiselled
bouquet. The palate is multi-layered, poised and
classic with just a trace of tannin helping to define the
structure. This is a very impressive wine.
Drink 2012-2017.
198.00
Pouilly-Vinzelles, Cuve Millerande (en magnum)
A few rows of vines at this vineyard always offer
bunches of tiny millerand berries, which give a
seriously high concentration of skin to juice and a
terrific dry, richness of fruit. Vinified and bottled
separately, in magnum, this has additional succulence
without losing its mineral backbone and will age
extremely well. Drink 2012-2018.
77802M 6 x 150CL PER CASE
264.00
WHITE
Mcon-Chardonnay, Clos de la Crochette
This is a wine full of sunshine and dancing minerals. It
has great precision, refinement and is unquestionably
the best La Crochette yet. Drink 2012-2014.
138.00
Mcon-Milly-Lamartine, Clos du Four
This is always the most backward of the Lafon Mcon
wines. It has a scintillating stony backdrop, which will
show best after two years in bottle, and there is an
impressive volume of fruit waiting in reserve.
Drink 2013-2015.
156.00
Vir-Cless
Vir-Cless is known to produce really succulent
wines, and this is no exception, but Dominique made
sure the grapes were picked early to avoid any sense of
heaviness. There is a little fleshy richness on the nose
and a really pure, silkiness to its texture.
Drink 2012-2015.
156.00
Olivier Merlin
Olivier Merlin
The Merlins brand new cuvrie was up and running for the start of the 2009 harvest and this made it
much easier to manage than in previous years. Next year their fabulous-looking new vineyard that is
planted on the steep south-facing slope above the village will also come on stream, and everything looks
set fair for a fine future for Olivier and Corinne which they have richly deserved, having created their
business from a standing start.

Produced from a plot of very old vines, this is a very
classy wine that brims with intricate, lacy detail. It has
amazing density at the back of the palate and shows
both delicacy and body. Drink 2013-2019.

This St Romain reflects just what great value there is to be

Bourgogne Rouge, Les Bons Btons
Domaine Michle & Patrice Rion
Patrice Rions Bons Btons is the ultimate generic

Bourgogne Rouge. The 2009 is fresh and utterly delicious,
not a wine to sip but to imbibe with healthy abandon.
Tom Cave, Cellar Plan Manager

Cte de Nuits-Villages, Sylvain Loichet
The vines here are but a hop, skip and jump away from
Premier Cru Nuits-St Georges. This is a great opportunity to
purchase exciting wine with real Cte de Nuits nobility in a
great vintage at a most attractive price.
St Vran, Le Grand Bussire

With bountiful white pears exploding on the palate,
this is a relatively exotic cuve compared to Les Cras.
Its flamboyant bouquet of rose petal and lychee is
reined in by suitable acidity, and it will give great
pleasure in the medium term. Drink 2012-2016.

Olivier Merlin confirms his status as the finest exponent of

Olivier Lamy
Domaine Hubert Lamy
Jean-Yves Devevey
Olivier Lamy is one of the few producers who actually made less wine in 2009 than 2008, which is
bad news for us as these are superlative wines. He started picking earlier than most, as he judged
everything to be ripe, so there are no high degrees of alcohol here and the wines are deliciously fresh.
This domaine remains the standout address in St Aubin.
There was a terrific moment for Jean-Yves in March 2010 when he signed an agreement to farm two
hectares of Rully. Unfortunately, it had not yet been pruned and time was running out but 20 of his vigneron
friends, including several in this catalogue, rallied round and together they completed the job in a single day.
This vineyard will come on stream next year while the Rully Premier Cru and Chassagne Premier Cru,
missing in 2008, are back for 2009.

St Aubin, La Prince
Oliviers blend of village St Aubin Blanc is christened
La Prince and fermented and matured in large
barrels. It has a broad base, yet is clean, floral and very
detailed, with perfect poise. Drink 2012-2014.
168.00
St Aubin, Frionnes, 1er Cru
There is a touch of tropical fruit here which is
attractively ripe up front, moving to a core of steel,
making this wine approachable early but with the
power to last. Drink 2012-2016.
210.00
St Aubin, Clos de la Chatenire, 1er Cru
This wine is noticeably more restrained than Les

Santenay, Clos des Htes
This wine, with an exuberant nose of vivid cherry fruit
and very generous palate, could easily merit
promotion to Premier Cru. Drink 2012-2015.
180.00
St Aubin, Derrire Chez Edouard, 1er Cru
Old vines (over 50 years old) have produced a wine with
a rich round ball of dark cherry and raspberry fruit and
excellent structure. This is certainly a wine that will
repay keeping. Drink 2013-2018.
210.00
WHITE
Rully, 1er Cru
From a single vineyard source, this has a very
perfumed nose with hints of ripe apples. With a
delicious mid palate and great length, this will give
great early-drinking pleasure but has enough grip to
keep for a while. Drink 2011-2015.
150.00
Meursault, Les Vireuils
This has been a standout wine for Jean-Yves for many
vintages and this year the 2009 has a fine pale colour,
a gentle, rounded nose, is full in the mouth and is
attractively complex. Drink 2012-2016.

Chassagne-Montrachet
This makes an interesting counterpoint to the
Meursault and is a dynamic, fresh, precise, pure and
persistent wine with good acidity. Drink 2012-2016.

Chassagne-Montrachet, Macherelles, 1er Cru

After an absence of a year, the Macherelles cuve is

on the palate with a very good finish.
Drink 2013-2018.

Domaine Jean-Claude Bachelet

When one door opens another closes, and so the construction of a fine new winery near the main road will
make life much easier for the Bachelet boys, Benot and Jean-Baptiste. We will miss the rabbit warren of
cellars in the old part of the hamlet of Gamay, however, with father Jean-Claudes old world charm not to
mention the ancient Citroen truck (circa 1950) which, thankfully, is still on duty at vintage time.

St Aubin, Charmois, 1er Cru
A very pretty wine with a little touch of coconut and
orange blossom on the nose. The fresh fruit appears
up front with a richer, creamier backdrop pulling
through towards the end. Drink 2012-2014.
186.00
Puligny-Montrachet, Sous le Puits, 1er Cru

Though this vineyard is the highest on the slope in

some orange blossom notes on the bouquet followed
by a full, fleshy palate and a steely finish.
Drink 2013-2016.

Chassagne-Montrachet, Blanchots-Dessus, 1er Cru

This wine has lovely fruit on the nose with a superb,
rich mid-palate and amazing intensity. It dances all the
way, full of energy and, despite the evident ripeness, it
has retained delicacy and finesse. Drink 2013-2018.

Puligny-Montrachet
This village Puligny comes from Les Enseignres and

Chteau de Puligny-Montrachet
Domaine Jean-Nol Gagnard
Etienne de Montilles stewardship of the Chateau de Puligny-Montrachet showed immediate dividends

in quality from his first vintage (2002), with a further clear step up from 2007 as organic farming and
investment in the winery and barrel cellar kicked in. This is a fine range of 2009s.
Caroline lEstim (ne Gagnard) has been converting the domaine to organic farming, further fine-tuning
what is already an admirable business. She made great wines in 2008 when the harvest was very late
and has turned in another set of first-class results for the early harvest of 2009, which began here on
10th September.
WHITE
Bourgogne Blanc, Le Clos du Chteau
This is a fine Bourgogne Blanc from what used to be

flavour to the density of the palate. Drink 2012-2015.
150.00
Puligny-Montrachet, La Garenne, 1er Cru

This wine has a beautifully fine persistent finish.
Drink 2013-2018.

Meursault, Perrires, 1er Cru

A rich but fresh nose kicks off this full-bodied
Meursault. There are some delicious yellow plum
flavours throughout, good weight and a balanced
finish. Drink 2012-2016.
498.00
Puligny-Montrachet
The Puligny is slightly more aromatic than the
Chassagne, with a medium weight of fruit and the
necessary touch of acidity behind. With a pleasant
lemon scent, it has fleshed out nicely during
maturation. Drink 2013-2016.

Nuits-St Georges, Clos des Grandes Vignes, 1er Cru
This cuve comes from the old vines only. It shows a

Chassagne-Montrachet, Les Chaumes, 1er Cru
Though the bouquet on this charming and succulent
Chassagne has not yet fully developed, there is a huge

Chassagne-Montrachet, Morgeot, 1er Cru

Carolines Morgeot is really stylish this year, with a fine
perfume including some pear notes. Morgeot is

a real graceful overlay, adding poise and elegance.
Drink 2013-2018.
432.00
Chassagne-Montrachet, La Boudriotte, 1er Cru

A very fine, sensual nose of white flowers leads to
flavours that come dancing right across the palate. The
fine, long mouthfeel leads to a fresh, zesty finish.
Drink 2013-2017.
396.00
Chassagne-Montrachet, Caillerets, 1er Cru

This wine has a very discreet bouquet with an

hauntingly fine wine with marvellous persistence,
right through to the steely finish. Drink 2014-2019.
540.00
Chassagne-Montrachet, Blanchots-Dessus, 1er Cru

A light touch of oak on the nose, along with soft ripe fruit
and a luxurious wave of pear and peach flavours
combine to make this charming wine. This vineyard,
situated next to Le Montrachet, always produces fullbodied fleshy wines and this one is perfect for mediumterm drinking. Drink 2013-2017.

Btard-Montrachet, Grand Cru

A powerful nose with delicate peach notes leads to

Etienne Sauzet
Domaine Michel Bouzereau & Fils
Veteran Gerard Boudot was supremely relaxed in his cellar when we went to taste the 2009s a
fabulous vintage from a domaine that has been on top form in recent years, while the next generation
(daughter Emilie and son-in-law Benot) are steadily taking on responsibilities. Picking started early on
7th September, while the long slow fermentation has helped to build subtle layers of flavour into the
wines this year. This is a really excellent result. Prices will be available in January.
2009 is the first vintage made from start to finish at Jean-Baptistes sparkling new premises and one can
already see a beneficial dividend in the quality and purity of fruit. Jean-Baptiste began harvesting on 7th
September and is really happy with the resulting volumes which are substantially up on previous years.
The 2009 wines are really fine and, with absolutely healthy fruit, no problems were experienced with
either the alcoholic and malolactic fermentations.
WHITES
Puligny-Montrachet
The bouquet is discreet, though still with attractive
floral notes and generosity without being fat. All of this
is boosted by a lovely lift at the back of the palate, and
perfect balancing acidity. Drink 2012-2015.

TBC
Puligny-Montrachet, Champ-Canet, 1er Cru

Displaying white fruit and flowers on a strikingly
poised bouquet there is almost a touch of cream on the
palate of this wine. It is as broad as it is deep and will
wonderfully complement rich sauces in the fullness of
time. Drink 2013-2018.

WHITE
Meursault, Tessons
The very classy and attractively floral nose of this wine
leads onto a beautifully constructed palate, presenting
a notable breadth and backbone of harmonious fruit
before a marvellously fresh aftertaste. This really is a
special vineyard. Drink 2012-2015.
270.00
Puligny-Montrachet, Hameau de Blagny, 1er Cru

A recent addition to the Sauzet stable, this comes from
a plateau on the south side of Blagny which has an
incredible depth of soil. Rich, ripe and graceful, it has
an attractive nose which is backed up by ripe yellow
fruits like mirabelle plums. Drink 2012-2016.

Puligny-Montrachet, Folatires, 1er Cru

From two plots found at the farthest ends of the
vineyard, this is the most complete wine in the Sauzet

concentrated yellow fruit flavours, exceptionally
balanced by the necessary acidity, and the aftertaste is
delightfully long and luxuriously perfumed.
Drink 2013-2018.

TBC
Puligny-Montrachet, Referts, 1er Cru

Produced from 60-year-old vines planted on compact
clay soil next door to Meursault, this is a full-bodied,

There is an impressive backbone too, which is
promising for the future. Drink 2012-2017.
6
TBC
Puligny-Montrachet, Combettes, 1er Cru

There is a touch of spice and gunflint on the nose of

framework. Drink 2014-2020+.

TBC
Meursault, Genevrires, 1er Cru

The nose here is discreet at first but there is real
muscle behind with several layers of fruit all apparent.
A fine wine for the medium term, it markedly
combines the graceful flesh of the vintage with the
liveliness of Genevrires. Drink 2013-2016.
390.00

This is a lovely, rounded Meursault showing both
flowers and fruit. Softly scented and alluring, there is a
thread of steel that runs straight through the middle,
revealing an unforeseen depth and sense of power.
This is a really impressive wine. Drink 2013-2019.
492.00
Puligny-Montrachet, Le Cailleret, 1er Cru
Fresh and appealing from the floral bouquet onwards,
this is fully ripe with a beautiful broad palate and
plenty of flesh. Very distinguished, this is likely to be
accessible early. Drink 2013-2017.
570.00
Meursault, Charmes, 1er Cru

Richer than the Genevrires and nicely rounded out by
the oak, there is significant length here, along with

Patrick Javillier began picking on 6th September, having advanced his start date on seeing how quickly the
grapes were ripening. None of the wines exceed 13% alcohol and he has retained good acidity
throughout. This is yet another wonderful range from Patrick, who maintains his knack of building superb
texture into his wines thanks to his management of the lees.
Arnaud and Marie-Odile began picking on 1st September 2009 which, as usual, was well before their
neighbours; when you run your vineyards as meticulously as they do, you tend to get ripe grapes that bit
earlier. The wines are aged for the first year in barrel, mostly the larger demi-muid format for the first three
wines below, then given a further six months in tank. These are some of the greatest white wines in
Burgundy, and priced accordingly.

Michel Niellon are still to be found, alongside his
son-in-law and grandson.
Jean-Philippe is one of the most meticulous producers we know, with never a barrel out of line, nor a
spanner out of place in his workshop. His wines are for those who like purity and he believes that 2009
has everything required to be an exceptional vintage. There was a good size crop that ripened without
excessive sugar levels appearing at the end and no problems in the cellar either, where the wines are now
matured for 12 months in barrel before they spend a further six months in tank.

Etienne de Montille
Antoine Jobard
Domaine de Montille
Domaine Antoine Jobard
Etienne de Montille has been increasingly interested in vinifying his red wines with the use of stems and
ripe fruit recently, and in 2009 he was able to take this technique further, with between two-thirds and
100% stems being included in most wines. This influences both the aromatic profile and the structure of
the wines, adding complexity and staying power at the expense of pure red fruit. The De Montille 2009s
are built to last and, as usual, are an excellent range.
Antoine is now firmly in the driving seat at this fabulous domaine, in succession to his father Franois
who has finally retired after delivering glorious, long-lived Meursaults throughout his 50-year career.
Fully ripe, without exceeding 13.5% alcohol, Antoine has made some glorious 2009s and we are
delighted to have significantly increased our allocation this year. Since 2007 the domaine has been
farmed organically, though without certificate.

Le Trzin is situated at the top of the slope and in 2009
even this spectacular vineyard was able to ripen fully.
This is soft and fleshy, thoroughly engaging, and has a
fine, fresh finish to boot. Drink 2013-2016.
360.00
Meursault, Poruzots, 1er Cru

This bouquet shows real nobility, while the palate is
multi-layered, muscular yet also precisely defined.
There is an amazing energy too and this is
unquestionably as good a Poruzots as we can
remember. Drink 2015-2025.
6
270.00
Meursault, En La Barre
The aromatics are yet to develop here but on the palate
it is solid, firm and fat. The class develops steadily
further in the mouth with excellent core acidity and
amazing persistence. Giving this wine time will
certainly bear rewards. Drink 2014-2020.
360.00

Faint lemon and lime notes on the bouquet of this
brilliant wine give little away of what is to follow, which
is a generous bevy of pure fresh fruit and a glorious
crystalline finish. Deliciously fine, this is a sublime
wine for the long term. Drink 2015-2025.

Michel Lafarge
Benjamin Leroux
Domaine Michel Lafarge
Domaine du Comte Armand
There are domaines which attract you for the quality of the wines they produce, and those where the people
involved are quite exceptional in their own right. Domaine Michel Lafarge ticks both those boxes, not least
because of the extraordinary persona of the ever present Michel Lafarge, allied to the expertise of son
Frdric. It is always a pleasure to visit top-class domaines and sometimes it is humbling. Make sure you
fight for an allocation of these brilliant 2009s.
Benjamin Leroux is surely the eminence blonde of the Cte de Beaune, the go-to person for other vignerons
in need of advice. His period in charge at the Domaine du Comte Armand (since 1999) has resulted in a
series of brilliant wines, with perhaps the 2009 representing the pinnacle of his career to date.
RED
Volnay
A beautiful perfume with raspberry and strawberry
flavours leads to a fully ripe, yet impressively precise
wine that is truly delicious. Drink 2014-2018.
288.00
Volnay, Vendanges Selectiones
A subtler wine than the straight Volnay, yet with greater
depth. The fruit needs coaxing out at first but then
shows darker notes and a very impressive finish.
Drink 2015-2022.
333.00
Volnay, Clos du Chteau des Ducs, 1er Cru
On the one hand this is an exuberant wine with a
beautifully sensual quality to the fruit, on the other
there is a fine-boned and well-proportioned structure.
It is a wine that just keeps on growing on the palate.
Drink 2017-2025.
6
345.00
Volnay, Caillerets, 1er Cru

After six years managing the vineyard, the Lafarges
have now got their Caillerets where they want it, as the
quality of the 2009 abundantly shows. The fruit is
astonishingly pure and really intense, and it lingers
deliciously on the palate. Drink 2017-2025.
6
360.00
Volnay, Clos des Chnes, 1er Cru
This is not as exuberant as the Clos du Chteau des
Ducs but is correspondingly finer. There is a haunting
quality to the fruit, with enough tannins behind to
provide structure and a wonderful, heavenly
aftertaste. Drink 2019-2030.
6
366.00
RED
Auxey-Duresses, 1er Cru
A sensual, gorgeous nose is followed by a lovely rich
mouthful of ripe fruit which caresses the throat. The
finish of the wine displays a welcome mineral
crispness, showing off this very successful wine.
Drink 2012-2017.
210.00
Volnay
Beautiful pure fruit, seamless elegance and
marvellous texture: whats not to love about this? This
is a gorgeous village Volnay for drinking within the next
two to seven years. Drink 2013 to 2018.
222.00
Volnay, Fremiets, 1er Cru

The Premier Cru Volnay is always the first wine to be
picked and the 2009 has ripe cherries and raspberries
on the nose, accompanying a wealth of soft and
graceful fruit throughout. Drink 2014-2020.
399.00
Pommard, Clos des Epeneaux, 1er Cru
A very intense, multi-layered nose reaches down to a
profound palate and, although this is evidently very
rich in fruit, there is something very stylish about it.
There is a vast range of fruit on the palate, even a hint
of licorice, leading to an extraordinarily vibrant finish.
This may be Benjamin Lerouxs best ever Clos des
Epeneaux. Drink 2016-2035.
597.00
Pommard, 1er Cru

Made from the young vines of Clos des Epeneaux,
now averaging 25 years old, this wine, which is
bounding with energy, is remarkably succulent with
totally tamed tannins. Drink 2015-2020.

CTE DE BEAUNE
Benjamin Leroux
Hospices de Beaune
Benjamin Leroux
2009 offered the perfect conjunction of a first-rate

vintage with acceptable pricing, thanks to the
depressed economic situation. And since prices
rose again for the 2010 auction, it looks as though
we pulled off a coup by investing in these
impressive 2009s. Quality is becoming more
regular from this iconic source, and the wines have
all been brought up in barrel by Benjamin Leroux
who will bottle them this spring.
Year three of the new business (which is already enjoying great success) clearly brings the best wines yet, as well as the widest selection. Ben had no intention
of expanding too quickly but there were opportunities which could not be resisted in 2009. The wonderful range below is just part of our selection, with more
wines available on www.bbr.com.
RED
Beaune, Cuve Rousseau Deslandes, 1er Cru
This wine has lively, concentrated dark raspberry fruit
and is rather rich for a Beaune, but balanced and very
long. Drink 2013-2020.
6
180.00
Pommard, Cuve Dames de la Charit, 1er Cru
There is a good proportion of Les Rugiens in this cuve
and it has a very seductive mouth feel with a fabulous
quality of fruit up front and more structure behind.
Interestingly, the richness of 2009 has tamed the
tannins of Pommard. Drink 2015-2025.
6
240.00
Corton, Cuve Charlotte Dumay, Grand Cru
We were very pleased to secure a barrel of Corton at
this price as it is an outstanding wine from Les
Renardes and les Bressandes. The fruit absolutely fills
the mouth, in sumptuous fashion, while the ripe
tannins hold it all together. This is a wine built for the
long term. Drink 2018-2025+.
6
330.00

Benjamin Leroux
WHITE
Auxey-Duresses
This starts discreetly on the nose and then leaps into
action with a lovely fleshy, fine, intense core. This is a
glorious wine for early drinking. Drink 2011-2014.
180.00
Meursault, Poruzot, 1er Cru

A new cuve in 2009, coming from 80-year-old vines,
this has impressive density of fruit, firm structure and
dramatic tension. The wine has excellent balance
which will last for the long term. Drink 2014-2018.
444.00
Nuits-St Georges, Les Allots

A few plums are apparent amongst some very graceful
red fruit in this wine. There is plenty of body through the
middle and an exceptionally pure long finish; this is
very fine indeed. Drink 2013-2018.
252.00
St Aubin, Murgers des Dents de Chien, 1er Cru

This has a fine, fresh and appealing nose with delicate
complexity and a beautiful, charming and balanced
palate. Drink 2012-2015.
222.00

This wine comes from the Chassagne side, near the top
of the vineyard, and has a profound and amazing
density which shines through to a wonderful fresh core
of minerality. Drink 2016-2022.
6
780.00
Volnay, Clos de la Cave des Ducs, 1er Cru

The vineyard is farmed by Benjamins right-hand man,
Jean-Charles Carr, and the wine is the epitome of
perfectly balanced Volnay not massive but with an
exquisite delicacy of red and black fruit and great
persistence. Drink 2014-2019.
375.00
Meursault, Les Vireuils

With a flash of sheer class on the nose and an attractive
leaner aspect from its hillside location on limestone soil,
this wines finish is both fresh and very long. Drink
2013-2016.
276.00
Puligny-Montrachet
Made from a blend of three vineyards, the bouquet of
this wine is very stylish and continues on the palate to
a smoothly satisfying finish. Drink 2012-2015.
297.00
Chassagne-Montrachet, Tte du Clos, 1er Cru
New in 2009, from a little-seen but first-class vineyard
next to La Romane, this wine is brilliant, full, rich,
ripe, yet perfectly balanced. It is a stunning wine
which hits all the high notes! Drink 2013-2018.
420.00
Bottled with a screwcap instead of a cork
RED
Savigny-ls-Beaune
From a variety of village vineyards and some Premier
Cru vines, this is pretty, stylish, suave, balanced and
long with a strawberry fruit succulence. The purpose
here was to make a delicious red Burgundy that can
be quaffed in volume from relatively early on.
Drink 2011-2013.
162.00
Volnay
This wine has been blended with delicacy from
various Volnay vineyards. While the fruit at the front of
the palate is elegant and stylish, it is followed by just
the right amount of structure to provide balance. This
is very deftly put together. Drink 2013-2017.
222.00
Nuits-St Georges, Aux Thorey, 1er Cru

This wine has a fine, full, dark red colour with a
sumptuous wealth of fruit on the nose. The grapes in
this vineyard come from a particularly high quality
strain of Pinot fin, which consistently delivers quality
and especially so in 2009. Drink 2014-2020.
384.00
Clos St Denis, Grand Cru
A brilliant wine with a scintillating quality of fruit and a
marvellous blend of intensity, purity and just plain
charm. It is fine-boned, riveting and taffeta-textured so,
as you can imagine, we are quite keen on this one!
Drink 2015-2020+.
6
450.00
David Croix
Dominique Lafon
Domaine des Croix
Dominique Lafon
The big news here, just five years after the domaine was created, is the arrival of three new vineyards
purchased on the eve of the 2009 harvest: village Aloxe-Corton and two sites of Grand Cru Corton, albeit
blended together in this first year. Building works at headquarters have now finished and all is set for a fine
future, especially in Davids more than capable hands.
Year two of Dominiques own label sees a small cuve of St Vran replacing the Vir-Cless which has now
gone to the Hritiers du Comte Lafon stable, and the introduction of a red Beaune Premier Cru Les Epenottes
(purchased wine in 2009, with the vineyard itself purchased for 2010). These rare wines are exclusive to
Berrys in the UK, Hong Kong and Japan.
WHITE
A golden style Corton-Charlemagne with attractive ripe
fruit aromas, including traces of banana and coconut.
This wine has a delightful freshness behind, followed
up with attractive mineralty. Drink 2014-2020.
6
330.00
RED
Beaune
This wine includes a fair amount of declassified
Premier Cru, the upshot being a really impressive,
good value village wine. It is sturdy, yet with an
appealing fragrance, making it a lively red Burgundy,
ideal for the medium term. Drink 2013-2016.
180.00
Aloxe-Corton, Les Boutires
New this year, this wine has a classy nose and solid,
dense, rounded fruit with a trace of chocolate at the
198.00
Beaune, Grves, 1er Cru

A heady, exciting nose with a magical wealth of fruit
sitting on top of the wonderful structure, this wine has
suave fruit with a touch of blackberries, preceding a
lovely fresh finish. Drink 2013-2018.
6
168.00
Corton, La Vigne au Saint, Grand Cru
Very deep black purple in colour. This is a very
seductive style of Corton, with real heart to the
sumptuous fruit and a lovely long finish.
Drink 2015-2020.
6
270.00
Corton, Grves, Grand Cru
This is altogether more backward than La Vigne au
Saint, almost a grumpy old man. There is a noticeably
more tannic background after the massive mid palate
of rich black fruit. Drink 2017-2025.
6
285.00
Beaune, Bressandes, 1er Cru

This wine is a lovely rich purple with a fresh, balanced
nose. It is gorgeous across the palate, growing to a
noticeably rich, sumptuous finish with all elements
working in perfect harmony together.
Drink 2013-2017.
297.00
WHITE
St Vran
This has an opulent nose with touches of pear and
fresh apricots but a tighter, more classically delineated
palate follows. Give this another six months to settle
down and it will drink very well from the coming
summer. Drink 2011-2013.
138.00
Meursault
The fine, fresh colour precedes a beautifully stylish
nose, with generous fruit overlaid by floral notes. It is
seamless on the palate and agreeably fleshy, yet
culminating in a precise mineral finish. This wine is
thoroughly impressive in all departments.
Drink 2013-2017.
396.00
Puligny-Montrachet, Champs Gains, 1er Cru
Still slightly restrained on the nose, though lemonscented notes are evident. There is excellent tension on
the palate created by the concentration of fruit and the
mineral liveliness, leading to a scintillating finish.
Drink 2014-2019.

RED
Volnay
A very moreish and typically sensual Lafon red, this is
fine and fragrant with delicate colour and exceptional
style. Drink 2012-2016.
297.00
Beaune, Epenottes, 1er Cru
A gentle, graceful bouquet leads to very pretty, stylish
fruit with a burst of greater red fruit energy at the back
of the palate, making this a quintessential stylish
Beaune. Drink 2013-2016.
6
165.00
Volnay, Les Lurets, 1er Cru
This is an adorable Volnay, with beautifully plump,
dark red fruit swelling across the palate and a very long
finish indeed. Drink 2013-2017.

CTE DE BEAUNE
Nicolas Potel
Domaine de Bellene
Exciting changes are afoot at Nicolas Potels domaine with the arrival of four new vineyards from the Cte
de Nuits a village and a Premier Cru wine, each from Nuits-St Georges and Vosne-Romane. Further
limited expansion is expected in the next year or so, which will be offset by a replanting programme in
some of the original vineyards. The winery in Beaune is now completely renovated to the highest
ecological standards and work is finishing on offices and accommodation.
WHITE
St Romain
This wine has a lovely lifted mineral and lemonscented nose, and is perfectly balanced with good
length, making it a really lovely example of 2009
white Burgundy. Drink 2011-2014.
144.00
Nuits-St Georges, Vieilles Vignes

With a relatively deep colour, this Nuits has a plummy
concentration of fruit at the front of the palate. It is very
sensual, enormously long and has beautifully
integrated oak. It is a really wonderful example of a
village Nuits-St Georges. Drink 2013-2017.
288.00
RED
Bourgogne Rouge, Maison Dieu
This plot of old vines, just below Pommard, produces a
classy, characterful Pinot Noir. In this example the rich
fruit of the vintage really fills the mouth.
Drink 2012-2014.
108.00
Beaune, Grves, 1er Cru

From ancient vines, planted in 1904, this wine has
rich, blackcurrant fruit, amazing length and a glorious
silkiness. It is fresh at the finish, despite the evident
richness of fruit. A magical, harmonious wine.
Drink 2013-2020.
330.00
Savigny-ls-Beaune, Vieilles Vignes

A tight and savoury wine with red fruit bursting across
the palate. It has a lovely texture with the succulent
fruit completely covering the bone structure.
Drink 2012-2016.
180.00
Vosne-Romane, Les Quartiers de Nuits

Matured in new 600 litre barrels, this stylish VosneRomane is from a vineyard which is partly classified
as Grand Cru Echezeaux. It impresses on the palate,
but the real joy is the aftertaste, which is not to be
missed. Drink 2013-2017.
360.00
Savigny, Les Hauts Jarrons, 1er Cru

Classy red fruit, cherry stones and no obtrusive tannins
are evident with a delicious mineral crunch at the finish
and very impressive persistence. This vintage shows
this hillside site at its very best. Drink 2012-2018.
264.00
20
Nuits-St Georges, Cru Les Chaignots, 1er Cru

This wine has been vinified with all its stems but this
does not show in the aromatics. There is an amazing
sense of energy at the back of the palate, as well as a
clearly defined structure which will enable this to age
for the long term. Drink 2013-2020+.
495.00
FINEWINE@BBR .COM

Nicolas Potel
Maison Roche de Bellene

Although he is no longer with Maison Nicolas Potel, and indeed having left his name behind, Nicolas has retained many of his previous contracts to supply
his new business, Maison Roche de Bellene. The formula remains the same: delicious wines from major appellations offered at compellingly competitive
prices. His white wines are now starting to compete with his reds.
WHITE
Montagny, 1er Cru
This is the best wine we have seen to date at this level
from Nicolas Potel, with a tightly knit intensity and a
classical mineral finish. Drink 2011-2013.
120.00
Meursault, Chevalires
From 25-year-old vines in this excellent hillside site,
this is a tight and lean wine, yet it retains real character.
The wonderful purity is complemented by complexity
and there is an engaging liveliness. Drink 2013-2016.
228.00
This is arguably better than Roche de Bellenes village
Puligny-Montrachet, with a little more body, great
purity and good acidity. Drink 2012-2015.
234.00
Puligny-Montrachet , Les Chalumeaux, 1er Cru
From a wide range of Premier Cru Pulignys we
selected Les Chalumeaux because it is superbly
stylish, elegant and racy with a bouquet of fragrant
white flowers. It is not a fat wine but it does display
finesse throughout, and has a marvellously fine long
378.00

This is a huge mouthful, especially compared to Les
Chalumeaux, but despite the flesh on the palate it
finishes with a classical stony Genevrires character.
Only two barrels were made; this is a really fine
example at an affordable price. Drink 2014-2019.
390.00
Vosne-Romane, Les Petits Monts, 1er Cru

This wine has a lovely ethereal bouquet and is a
quintessentially elegant Burgundy. There is a
beautifully fragrant and graceful thread running
through the palate with a delicate scent of rose petals.
Drink 2014-2020.
6
270.00
Le Montrachet, Grand Cru

This wine has an enormously concentrated nose, yet is
pure and perfectly balanced. It truly is exquisite with real
depth and definition, and is every bit as magical as it
should be. Drink 2015-2025.
6 1500.00
Vosne-Romane, Les Malconsorts, 1er Cru

This is a combination of two cuves producing a wine
greater than the sum of its parts, which is deep and
dense with an exquisite finish. Drink 2015-2020.
6
360.00
RED
Volnay, Vieilles Vignes
This is, as ever, a classic cuve from Nicolas. It has
immediate charm on the nose and is full of fruit,
making it a striking village Volnay. Drink 2013-2018.
192.00
Corton, Renardes, Grand Cru
Not only is this a fabulous example of Corton, but the
price is unequivocally perfect. Behind the purple robe
is a very dense, fruit-packed bouquet and a wealth of
fruit on the palate which keeps building to an
exceptionally long finish. Drink 2014-2020.
6
156.00

Only two barrels of this thrilling, delicious Grand Cru
were made. It has a beautiful, full purple colour with a
heavenly, hedonistic nose and abundantly rich,
sensual fruit. Drink 2014-2020.
6
390.00
Chambertin, Grand Cru
There is a wealth of fruit and a terrific bouncing energy in
this wine. This may take longer to come together than
some but will ultimately prove to be one of the more
remarkable wines around. Drink 2018-2028.
6
750.00

Premier Crus
Red
Santenay, Grand Clos Rousseau, 1er Cru, Maison Camille Giroud
This shows an intriguing mix of slightly earthy but nicely pure
fruit, with impressive richness and depth, and very pleasing
ripe, slightly rustic tannins. This is a Santenay of real style
and character.

Pommard, Clos des Epeneaux, 1er Cru, Domaine du Comte Armand
If there was a Grand Cru in Pommard this would
undoubtedly be it, and in years like 2009 you could make
an argument for it. This is where Ben Leroux really puts his
genius to work; he has crafted something quite magical.

Nuits-St Georges, Clos de la Marchale, 1er Cru
Domaine Jacques Frdric Mugnier
This is another firm favourite of ours, year in, year out. The
Clos de la Marchale did not disappoint in 2009; it is a
chunky, broad fellow yet finished off with an allencompassing gloss. Bravo!

Chambolle-Musigny, Les Charmes, 1er Cru
Rion's interpretation of this traditionally feminine wine is

classic, combining intense floral and perfumed aromas with
crystalline red fruits. The finish is where it excels; it is mouthfilling and long, yet remarkably delicate.

heartily approve of the elegance and sensibility of the Drouhin style. The principal changes have come in the
vineyards which have been converted to biodynamic farming under the watchful eye of Philippe Drouhin.

Chambolle-Musigny, 1er Cru

Something of a flagship wine from Drouhin, this is
blended from a variety of vineyards to produce the
essence of Chambolle. There is a mass of bright red
cherry fruit, making it more succulent than usual in

the front and an agreeable lemony finish.
Drink 2014-2019.

A sensual and stylish bouquet gives rise to a feeling of

David Croix
Maison Camille Giroud

There is a sense of everything falling into place here at this small merchant house, less than a decade after it was purchased from the Giroud family and
David Croix was put in charge of vinification. He found his own style with the red wines very early on and has now also refined his touch with whites. The
range remains small and there is rarely much volume of any given wine, but the quality shows a significant talent at work.
WHITE
Meursault
A fine and elegant nose tops off a richer body with
lemon and banana-scented charm and grip. From a

a lovely wine. Drink 2013-2017.

New to the Camille Giroud range, and set to be a longlasting favourite, this wine has sensual, smooth, ripe red
fruit, with a little touch of chocolate to add complexity.
Well-judged tannins are evident; this is a generous and
appealing wine. Drink 2014-2020.
198.00
Chassagne-Montrachet, Tte du Clos, 1er Cru

With exceptional intensity and dancing minerality, this is
great wine has elegance, concentration and amazing
length, all in place. It is a superb vineyard, impeccably
handled. Drink 2014-2019.
420.00
Beaune, Aux Cras, 1er Cru

Explosive red fruit, from 60-year-old vines farmed
organically, marries well with an attractive peppery
aspect, leading to an exceptionally long finish.
Drink 2014-2019.
294.00
Puligny-Montrachet, Champ Gain, 1er Cru

This is lifted and lovely, the perfect expression of 2009
white Burgundy, both impressively complex and
exceptionally persistent. A perfect example of Davids
increasing ability to produce lovely whites.
Drink 2014-2019.
432.00
Nuits-St Georges, Les Vaucrains, 1er Cru

This wine has a notably tough, dense structure, which
is the terroir of Vaucrains speaking. Sensitive handling
means that it has avoided any feeling of roughness a
really grown-up version of the Maranges, perhaps?
Drink 2015-2022.
420.00
RED
Maranges, Le Croix Moines, 1er Cru
This muscular wine is from a very small but really
quite special vineyard, high on the hillside in
Maranges. Look not for delicacy but appreciate the
compact, chunky body and the density of the fruit.
Drink 2014-2020.
174.00
Corton, Le Rognet, Grand Cru

David Croix has used 35% whole bunches in vinifying
this Corton, whereas he normally de-stems entirely.
The result is a gifted, perfumed nose with amazing
length, and prime dancing qualities at the fore.
Drink 2015-2022.
6
255.00
Corton, Clos du Roi, Grand Cru

Opinions within the Berrys team were evenly divided
between this wine and the Corton Rognet. Some
preferred the elegant touch of the former but others
were adamantly in favour of the majesty of the Clos du
Roi. It has rich red fruit, supported by oak, a touch of
chocolate at the back of the palate, and perfectly ripe
tannins. This is a seamless and complete wine.
Drink 2016-2025.
6
270.00
Chambertin, Grand Cru
Here is a brilliant, hauntingly fine example of
Chambertin. It has everything you would expect, but
leads with an especially superb texture. There is so
much going on but words will not do justice to the
potential, except for a quick mention of the almost
endless finish. A beautiful example from a great
vineyard, a top winemaker and a legendary vintage.
Drink 2020-2030.

Outside the box
We are constantly looking for wines of genuine excitement;
the following are outside the received wisdom of the best
known appellations or producers, but all are excellent.
White
Auxey-Duresses, Ben Leroux
This 2009 is a credit to the deft winemaking of Ben Leroux.
It is more delicate than a St Aubin but there is plenty there to
entice and reward.
Tom Cave, Cellar Plan Manager

Ladoix, 1er Cru, Sylvain Loichet
Few have heard of the village of Ladoix, because any of its

vineyards fall within the Grands Crus Corton and CortonCharlemagne. This is just next door and will surprise you by
its excellent quality.

Red
Pernand-Vergelesses, Maison Louis Jadot
Pernand-Vergelesses has a glorious freshness and lift to

accompany the roundness of the Pinot Noir fruit. This has
very pure aromas, is clean as a whistle and is very long.

Maranges, Le Croix Moines, 1er Cru, Maison Camille Giroud
The southernmost appellation of the Cte dOr deserves to be

better known for its characterful reds especially those with
rich red fruit and ripe tannins, such as Le Croix Moines.

CTE DE BEAUNE
Phillippe Prost
Bouchard Pre & Fils

There have been some significant changes of personnel at Bouchard, except in one really important area; the winemaker continues to be Philippe Prost
whose career stretches back to the ancien rgime, but who has been instrumental in the upsurge in quality under Henriot ownership. They have looked after
us well with a good allocation of 2009.
WHITE
This wine needs a little time to come together, as it is
still showing a lot of its oak, but there is real intensity to
come and the special mineral qualities of this vineyard
are certainly evident. Drink 2014-2019.
474.00
This wine is tightly wound at first but grows into an
ample finish, working in complete harmony with several
layers of flavour building. It has a beautiful fleshy texture
but with a mineral streak through the middle.
Drink 2014-2019.
498.00
Clean, bright and fresh in all departments, this is
positively linear after the broad-based Meursaults but
it has the typical 2009 quality of a fine rich finish, and
sensational length. Drink 2015-2022.

Chevalier-Montrachet, Grand Cru

This regular Chevalier has a thick creamy nose, yet
shows fine balance on the palate with some fresh
apple notes mixed into the cream. If it were not for the
existence of La Cabotte we would think this one of the
greatest examples of Chevalier but there is a price
difference of course, and this really is a splendid wine.
Drink 2016-2022.
6
720.00
Chevalier-Montrachet, La Cabotte, Grand Cru
This is the very special sub-section of Chevalier,
continuing the rows of Bouchards Le Montrachet. It is
fairly restrained compared to the regular Chevalier, but
with unbelievable intensity on the palate and a line of
steel that runs through the middle. The fruit flavours are
yet to emerge in detail but it is precise and chiselled, yet
in glorious volume. Drink 2016-2025+.
6 1440.00
Le Montrachet, Grand Cru
Reminiscent of a waft of sunshine and rose petals in
bloom, this wine has a lovely covering of velvet over a
massive block of marble. It is brilliantly put together
and is very, very long and absolutely lovely. It really is
up there amongst the very best Montrachets.
Drink 2018-2028.
6 1980.00
RED
Monthlie, Les Duresses, 1er Cru
Bouchard is offering excellent value with this plump
and pleasing Monthlie Premier Cru, where the fruit is
nicely complemented by well-judged oak and
unobtrusive tannins Drink 2013-2016.
180.00
Beaune, Grves, Vigne de lEnfant Jsus, 1er Cru
Here is a flagship wine for Bouchard, coming from the
heart of the best Beaune vineyard. It has a full, deep
red colour, with very intense ripe red fruit on the
palate. However, the best part is the finish, which is
amazingly persistent. Drink 2015-2022.
6
276.00
Chambertin, Clos de Bze, Grand Cru
The bouquet of this splendid wine suggests new wood,
magical perfume, deep rich plums and ultra opulence,
yet on the palate it is seamless with energy right through
to the back. It has an amazing intensity and endless
length. This may be glorious to drink even in its youth
though it should equally live to a ripe old age.

Sylvain Loichet
Maison Louis Jadot
Sylvain Loichet
There is no sign that legendary veteran winemaker Jacques Lardire is starting to slow down, though
his eventual successor, Frdric Barnier, has now joined him. The already magnificently appointed
winery on the outskirts of Beaune has had a new wing added as a white wine vinification centre. Out of
a marathon tasting we have selected a dozen of our favourite cuves, including some which space
prevents us from showing below. Check for more at www.bbr.com.
Work on the manor house in Chorey-ls-Beaune is progressing but, though the wines are raised in the
fabulous vaulted cellar there, it will not be until the 2011 harvest that everything happens on site. In
the meantime Sylvain Loichet grows in authority with both his red and white wines, with some
additions to the range of the former to boot.
WHITE
Pernand-Vergelesses, La Croix de Pierre
With a fine powerful, steely nose and lovely perfume
through the middle this is a very stylish wine with
medium length. Regular readers will know that we
particularly recommend Pernand as a source for fine
value whites and this is no exception.
Drink 2013-2016.
174.00
Chassagne-Montrachet, LAbbaye de Morgeot
The Jadot style seems to suit Chassagne-Montrachet
very well and this example has beautiful balance,
minerality and lifted, sweetly ripe fruit.
Drink 2014-2019.
462.00
Puligny-Montrachet, Clos de la Garenne
The nose is still quite closed at the moment but this is
tightly wound and really powerful through the middle
before stretching out to a fabulous, fruit-laden finish. A
profound and impressive wine. Drink 2014-2019.
510.00
Chevalier-Montrachet, Les Demoiselles
This is Jadots special patch of Chevalier and it has
come out will all guns blazing in 2009. With sparkling
minerality, chiselled purity, grace and length, this will
develop into a truly great wine. Drink 2016-2025.
6 1200.00
Le Montrachet
An incredible wine with many high points: sublime
perfume, with some notes of orange peel, an
overwhelming density of fruit on the palate and length
on the finish which just will not lie down. This will be a
real treat in years to come, and one to compare with
Les Demoiselles. Drink 2016-2025+.
6 1560.00
RED
Vosne-Romane
The best we have seen at this level in recent years, this
wine completely fills the mouth from start to finish.
Before bottling, this wine will be further enhanced by
the addition of some Premier Cru lots to the blend.
Drink 2013-2016.
294.00
This is very lively with exciting fruit on the nose
followed by impressive density and a cloak of rich red
fruit covering the undoubted structure on the palate.
Drink 2015-2020.
6
780.00
WHITE
Pernand-Vergelesses, Les Belles Filles
This is his best Pernand to date and has a lovely soft,
suave middle leading to a fine fresh finish. It is very
persistent and superb value. Drink 2012-2014.
108.00
Cte de Nuits-Villages, Aux Montagnes

Sylvains principal cuve of Cte de Nuits-Villages
comes from a vineyard close to Clos de la Marchale. It
is lively, fresh, full of fruit and will make a delicious
bottle. Drink 2012-2015.
126.00
Ladoix, Les Grchons, 1er Cru

A real following is developing for Sylvains Ladoix
wines if you cant afford Corton-Charlemagne try this
instead. After some floral notes on the bouquet this is
very tightly-knitted on the palate with fabulous
intensity and a great finish. Drink 2013-2018.
210.00
Nuits-St Georges, Les Grandes Vignes

From the part of the vineyard that is not classified as
Premier Cru, this wine has a deep, classy bouquet
which is followed by impressive density in the mouth,
lovely plummy fruit and very good length.
Drink 2013-2017.
210.00

But if you can afford Corton-Charlemagne, heres a
really good example. The aromatics are very pretty
while the palate displays an amazing intensity of fruit
leading to a scintillating mineral finish.
Drink 2014-2020.
6
375.00
Clos de Vougeot, Grand Cru

Glowing purple in colour, this is heady stuff. We tasted
this rather too early in its life to see the detail but the
weight and energy were abundantly clear. This will
make a great bottle further down the line.
Drink 2016-2025.
6
345.00
RED
Chorey-ls-Beaune
The strain of Pinot Noir in this vineyard is particularly
promising according to Sylvain. Certainly the wine is
very good with a natural vivacity that sits well with the
ripe fruit of the vintage. Drink 2012-2014.

The wines are always in a relatively early stage when we taste in Thibaults cellar in the autumn but
since then Thibault believes that the wines have been gaining precision during their lvage in barrel.
All the wines below are from his own domaine, though he does also make some cuves from purchased
grapes.
This domaine and its winemaker Pierre Vincent have won trophies at the International Wine Challenge
in each of the last three years. During this time Pierre has been vinifying several of his red wines with
the stems and this has been especially effective with the ripeness of the 2009 vintage. He continues to
display a deft hand with his whites too, most notably with the memorable Clos Blanc de Vougeot.
RED
Nuits-St Georges, La Charmotte
Brimming with deliciously perfumed fruit, this sensual
wine is beautifully balanced and will show brightly in
two years time. Drink 2013-2017.

WHITE
Clos Blanc de Vougeot, 1er Cru
Harmoniously balanced, sublimely rich, long and
graceful with a refreshing minerality, this is a
tremendous wine with great long-term potential.
Drink 2012-2020.

270.00
Gevrey-Chambertin, La Croix des Champs

Produced from 60-year-old vines, this wine exhibits
extremely attractive deep cherry fruit with good
backing tannins and a harmonious structure.
Drink 2014-2018.

156.00
Vosne-Romane, Aux Ras
With an amazing wealth of fruit running right through
the middle, this is the very essence of classic VosneRomane. Drink 2014-2018.

Pierre Vincent
Nuits-St Georges, Les St Georges, 1er Cru

Really well concentrated, this earthy wine blends
truffle notes with an abundance of plummy fruit to
create an ultra rich style. Drink 2015-2020+.
6
297.00
This is a really rewarding Clos de Vougeot to put away
for the future. It is lively, delicious and very full but not
over-ripe, with tight tannins neatly woven alongside a
real sense of power. Drink 2016-2025.
6
390.00
Richebourg, Grand Cru
The beautiful bouquet of this wine brims with promise
and on the palate there is a huge swelling of dark red
fruit that is a real mouthful. It is too early to see the full
detail and structure of this wine but the fruit, tannins
and acidity are all in perfect harmony.
Drink 2018-2030.

990.00
Corton-Charlemagne, Le Charlemagne, Grand Cru

With intriguing banana and pineapple notes and
beautifully plump fruit on the palate, this wine has a
fabulous vibrating energy and a wonderfully long

a fine and long, deliciously fresh finish.
Drink 2013-2018.
6
135.00
Nuits-St Georges, Les Damodes, 1er Cru

This vineyard is located right next door to VosneRomane and it shares many of its aromatic
characteristics, with lovely soft, fleshy fruit and an
impressive purity. Drink 2014-2019.
6
210.00
Blended between two parcels within Le Clos, this is a
graceful and elegant wine with a superb silky finish.
Drink 2014-2020.
6
360.00
Charmes-Chambertin, Les Mazoyres, Grand Cru
80-year-old vines play a significant role in the
impressive quality of this fabulously seductive wine.
There is an attractive spiciness accompanying the
strawberry fruit, followed by a perfectly constructed
palate. This will age gracefully. Drink 2015-2025.

Bonnes-Mares, Grand Cru
After a tiny crop in 2008, Vougeraies Bonnes-Mares

Patrice Rion
The Rions also make a series of wines from

purchased grapes, under the label Patrice Rion.
Included in this selection is the produce of a small
domaine in Chambolle-Musigny where Patrices
team have one contract to run the vineyards and
another to buy the grapes - so in terms of viticulture
and winemaking this is exactly the same as their
own domaine wines. The Amoureuses and
Bonnes-Mares come into this category.
Over the last few years the Rion wines have evolved towards a less extracted style, with the colours a
little lighter and the fruit able to express itself in a more graceful way. Patrice and his son Maxime are
meticulous in both the winery and barrel cellar in order to retain absolute purity in the fruit of the
subsequent wine. The domaine is in excellent hands and has a really bright future ahead of it.
RED
Nuits-St Georges, Vieilles Vignes
This comes from the upper slopes of the hillside just
south of Nuits. It is brimming with succulent, pretty
fruit flavours and a little touch of chocolate.
Drink 2012-2017.
276.00
Chambolle-Musigny, Les Amoureuses, 1er Cru
Beautifully fresh, with densely crushed strawberries
and a huge wealth of sumptuous fruit, this is a really
charming wine of great quality. Drink 2014-2022.

Bonnes-Mares, Grand Cru
Just one barrel of this outstanding wine was made in
2009 and it is really fascinating to watch how the
aromatics blossom in the empty glass after tasting.
There is an absolute explosion of intense kirsch fruit on
the nose which builds on the palate. This will develop
into a glorious wine. Drink 2016-2025.

marries lovely crunchy fruit and a touch of spice with

348.00
Nuits-St Georges, Clos St Marc, 1er Cru

Exceptionally heady, with a huge volume of fruit at the
back of the palate, this wine is so full of fruit that it
completely covers the undoubted structure, and it just
keeps on going! Drink 2014-2022.
498.00
Chambolle-Musigny, Les Charmes, 1er Cru
This is a supple, sensitive interpretation of ChambolleMusigny that displays a steady increase in weight
across the middle of the palate. Drink 2014-2020.
498.00
Nuits-St Georges, Clos des Argillires, 1er Cru

Erwan Faiveley
Domaine Sylvain Cathiard
Domaine Joseph Faiveley
There is tremendous excitement to be found in the cellars of Domaine Sylvain Cathiard as his
magnificently perfumed wines have the virtue of being hugely enjoyable, even in relative youth.
2009 marks the third vintage of the new era at Domaine Joseph Faiveley and the house style now
promotes wines with great purity of fruit, eschewing the dry tannins of earlier years. The 2009s were
picked early and are being bottled a little sooner than usual with more stems used in the vinification,
which is a theme of the vintage. Not all of Faiveleys wines have Domaine status but, of the selection
below, the vineyards are managed by Faiveley though they may not own them all.
RED
Vosne-Romane
This is a lovely, rich, sensual and stylish wine, which is
very intense with a crunchy kernel of fruit.
Drink 2013-2016.
420.00
Nuits-St Georges, Aux Thorey, 1er Cru
Glowing brightly, this wine is rich, full and chunky in
its youth. The fruit envelopes the mouth with high
class, though it will need just a little time to fully come
together. Drink 2014-2018.
780.00
Nuits-St Georges, Les Murgers, 1er Cru
The old vines used to produce this wine always deliver
small bunches of concentrated fruit. With immediate
charm and rich, plump fruit this is a very complete
wine with wonderfully well-harnessed tannins.

900.00
Vosne-Romane, En Orveau, 1er Cru

Brilliant fruit stretches across the palate of this terrific
wine, with velvety tannins coating the mouth on the
fabulously long finish. Drink 2014-2020.
900.00
Vosne-Romane, Les Suchots, 1er Cru
Delicate, intricate and subtle in detail, this is a wine to
spend time with, and enjoy as its seductiveness takes
over. Drink 2014-2020.

Very rich, ripe and heady, this has chocolate notes
creeping in at the back of the palate and a wonderfully
long finish. Drink 2014-2022.
1290.00
Romane-St Vivant, Grand Cru
The sensual and refined nose of this wine is still

immensely powerful, while still retaining its balance,
and the finish is amazingly persistent.
Drink from 2015-2025.

Puligny-Montrachet, Folatires, 1er Cru
With a steely core of ripe fruit and orange blossom
notes, there is a welcome touch of acidity keeping
everything in balance here. Drink 2014-2018.
480.00
With hints of coconut on the nose and an endless
stream of flavours on the palate, this wine is precise
and well balanced too. It will be very attractive in youth
but will age gracefully. Drink 2014 - 2020.

Nuits-St Georges, Porets-St Georges, 1er Cru
This is a very successful cuve with black cherry
notes, intriguing concentration and well-judged use of
wood, all harmoniously merging on the palate.
Drink 2014-2020.
360.00
Pommard, Rugiens, 1er Cru
Finely balanced, perfectly poised and delightfully
fresh, this is a really stylish and exceptionally long
wine from Pommards leading vineyard.
Drink 2015-2020+.
456.00
Corton, Clos des Cortons Faiveley, Grand Cru
The brilliantly rich and dense bouquet of this wine is
well supported by a wonderful intensity of fruit on the
palate that sits perfectly on the cusp of red and black
flavours. This is a really fabulous wine.
Drink 2016-2025.
6
360.00
Chambertin, Clos de Bze, Grand Cru
This major league Grand Cru continues the Faiveley

Domaine Lamarche
Domaine Jean Grivot
Nicole Lamarche has been in sole control of viticulture and winemaking here for the last three years,
while her cousin Nathalie looks after the sales and marketing side. The domaine is clearly in good
hands and this range of 2009s indicates at a glance the progress which has been made here in the
immediate past.
Etienne Grivot began picking on 9th September, relatively early for the Cte de Nuits, with the intention
of preserving freshness in the fruit. He also requested very light toasting for his new barrels with the
same end in mind. While we were tasting, Etienne waxed lyrical about his philosophy of winemaking:
I look for a balance between energy and seduction. He has certainly delivered this with his stellar
range of 2009s. We are probably being conservative with the upper drinking limit.
RED
Vosne-Romane
A haunting Vosne style of fruit with just a trace of oak,
this is really substantial for a village wine with the fruit
stretching right across the palate. Drink 2013-2018.
330.00
Vosne-Romane, Les Chaumes, 1er Cru
This wine has lovely aromatics overlaid with some
new oak and is very pretty through the middle, the fruit
coursing strongly over the palate. This wine stands up
very well. Drink 2014-2019.
6
270.00
There is a magical, heady note to this wine which
demonstrates the great qualities of Malconsorts. The
palate is tight, concentrated and restrained, finishing
on a fresh note despite the abundant richness of the
fruit. Drink 2015-2020.
6
354.00
Echezeaux, Grand Cru
The Lamarche Echezeaux is frequently one of the best
wines in their cellar, and the 2009 even exceeds
expectations with sweet, ripe dark cherry and black
raspberry fruit. This is absolutely lovely.
Drink 2016-2022.
6
390.00

Rich and deep purple in colour with an exciting, heady
nose, this is a complete, harmonious wine which
swells to a sublime finish. Some detail is beginning to
show and it is already possible to make out distinct
layers of black fruit. Drink 2016-2022.
6
390.00
Grands-Echezeaux, Grand Cru
This is a huge, full wine that is nonetheless suave and
graceful. You can see the proximity of Musigny in the
sumptuous character of the fruit and the tannins are
ripe and silky; this is dramatically fine wine.
Drink 2016-2022.

648.00
La Grande Rue, Grand Cru
This monopoly of Domaine Lamarche sits between La
Tche and Romane-Conti. The bouquet of the 2009
is absolutely stunning, displaying intense, yet refined
red fruit, overlaid with some new oak in perfect
harmony. Little waves of flavour float across the palate
and soft, charming red fruit is backed by a delicious
fresh finish with acidity and tannin perfectly integrated.
This is not a blockbuster but it is exceptionally fine.
Expect a long future. Drink 2016-2030.
6
960.00
RED
Vosne-Romane
A gently restrained, elegant bouquet with attractive
black fruit notes. This is a wine of pure class more than
obvious seduction, with an impressively long finish.
Drink 2014-2019.
300.00

Jet purple with brilliant intensity, the fruit here is
powerful enough to eat up the oak (80% new barrels)
without difficulty. Deep, dark fruit flavours are balanced
by the freshness of the finish: I have domesticated the
power opines Etienne. Drink 2017-2025.
6
450.00
Nuits-St Georges, Lavires

This wine has a heavenly nose, with a little Vosne-ish
perfume sitting on a bedrock of Nuits. There is
perfectly integrated oak, making this a really classy
wine with beautiful aromatics all the way through.
Drink 2014-2019.
300.00
Vosne-Romane, Les Suchots, 1er Cru

An exquisite cuve but one that is rarely-seen because
so little is made. There is a haunting, ethereal quality to
the nose; this is the essence of Vosne-Romane with
amazing purity. Les Suchots creeps up on you rather
than assaulting your senses. Drink 2016-2022.
6
480.00
Nuits-St Georges, Les Pruliers, 1er Cru

There is a lovely depth to the rich mid-palate of this

leading to a precise well-delineated finish, typical of
recent Grivot magic. Drink 2016-2022.

Echezeaux, Grand Cru

This wonderful wine is magical imperial purple in
colour with ripe fruit on the nose displaying
sumptuous majesty. Rich red fruit notes, with some
traces of mocha, add complexity through the plump
middle, making a wine with heart and a great finish.
Drink 2015-2025.
6
600.00
Vosne-Romane, Beaux Monts, 1er Cru

A marvellous deep purple, with just a whiff of oak on
the nose, this wine is solid and rich with concentrated
dark fruit and just enough acidity behind; it keeps on
going through to the very back of the palate.
Drink 2016-2022.

Louis Boillot
Domaine Jacques-Frdric Mugnier
Domaine Louis Boillot
Domaine David Clark
As ever, this is the only wine that Freddy Mugnier

releases at this stage. And, as ever, it is a startlingly
fine wine. The Marchale vineyard (the largest
Premier Cru Monopole in the Cte dOr) must be
happy to be in his hands. The small vineyard house
of classical design which dominates the top of the
vineyard has now been restored. The price will be
available in January.
Boillots can be found in most villages of Burgundy.

This one comes from the Volnay family, by way of
Gevrey-Chambertin, before migrating to ChambolleMusigny to share premises with his partner
Ghislaine Barthod. His wines share some of the
same purity and intensity, but Louis very clearly has
his own views. His vineyard holdings reflect both
the family origins in and around Volnay, and the
Gevrey inheritance on his mothers side.
Our talented Scottish friend has somewhat evolved

his style in 2009, partly in response to the vintage
but also as a conscious decision towards
downplaying extraction. David continues to devise
ingenious contraptions to help him in the vineyard.
RED
Nuits-St Georges, Clos de la Marchale, 1er Cru
A lovely, rich purple colour with a sensitive nose leads
to darker fruit and quite a powerful backdrop, but with
no noticeable tannins. Wonderfully smooth, poised
and with a long finish, this wine is hard not to fall in
love with. Drink 2014-2020.
TBC
RED
Gevrey-Chambertin, Les Evocelles
This hillside vineyard has produced a lighter coloured
wine with lovely perfume and intricate detail. There
are little red fruits throughout, which are not weighty,
but silky and stylish. Drink 2014-2018.
6
180.00
Pommard, Les Croix Noires, 1er Cru
These 80-year-old vines have produced a beautiful
wine from this little-known but well-situated vineyard.
After a classy nose of bright cherry fruit, comes a
perfectly proportioned palate with silky tannins and a
very persistent aftertaste. Drink 2015-2020.
6
240.00
Gevrey-Chambertin, Les Cherbaudes
The really heady nose never loses sight of the elegance
which now typifies Louis Boillots wines. It has great
balance and finely judged tannins behind, and
superlative length all this from vines planted in
1912. Drink 2014-2018.

David Clark
RED
Bourgogne Rouge, Au Pelson
This gently fragrant wine is soft, graceful and pleasing.
It is a very stylish Bourgogne Rouge with a particularly
satisfactory finish. Drink 2011-2014.
138.00
Cte de Nuits-Villages
This is similarly graceful to the Bourgogne Rouge but
with greater intensity, and a flavour profile which is
closer to bright red cherries. This site in the commune
of Brochon, just north of Gevrey-Chambertin, is proving
a notable success for David. Drink 2012-2016.
174.00
Morey-St Denis
Medium deep red with a huge depth of fruit on the nose,
this is a very refined Morey, made entirely with the
stems, and has an exceptionally long finish. It is just a
pity that there is not more of it! Drink 2013-2018.
6
138.00
Vosne-Romane
This has the deepest colour in the cellar, with
absolutely heavenly fruit on the nose one to sniff, and
sniff again. On the palate this goes the extra mile too,
showing that all of Davids hard work in the vineyard
has paid off. Drink 2013-2020.

Thierry Brouin
Ghislaine Barthod
Domaine des Lambrays
Domaine Ghislaine Barthod
There is a lovely escutcheon hanging from the

ceiling at the far end of the Lambrays cellar showing
two wolves (the emblem of Morey-St Denis) and the
initials GvF Grands vins de France, or Gnther von
Freund, the late owner of Domaine des Lambrays
who sadly died in the autumn. Under his ownership
the estate was rejuvenated and we owe him a great
deal, as we do to long-term rgisseur Thierry Brouin
who has produced some exemplary 2009s. Early
season hail (May 16th) reduced quantities, so there
is, alas, not much of this to go round.
Ghislaine Barthod epitomises what is so good about the village of Chambolle. She is charming and
talented herself and never has anything but good words to say about her neighbouring vignerons. Her
own domaine remains a reference point since all her wines come from within the village, and she has a
lovely range of Premier Cru vineyards to offer. Sadly we do not (yet) receive allocations of all of them.
Ghislaine was the first in the village to start picking in 2009 and certainly does not regret that decision!
Prices will be available in January.
RED
Morey-St Denis
Against usual practice here, this wine has been
produced without the use of any stems, but this is an
agreeable soft and easy red wine which will give
pleasure relatively early in life. Drink 2013-2016.
6
168.00
Morey-St Denis, Les Loups, 1er Cru
This bottling usually contains a proportion of Clos des
Lambrays fruit, but very little merited declassifying this
year. It has been vinified with stems to produce a
briary, strawberry and raspberry-fruited wine with a
very perfumed aftertaste. Drink 2014-2019.
6
270.00
RED
Bourgogne Rouge
From the Bons Btons vineyard, but not labelled as
such, this always tastes like a baby Chambolle. If we
had more of it to sell we would be even happier to
declare that it is fine, pure, graceful, and just plain
charming. Drink 2011-2016.
6
84.00
Chambolle-Musigny
This deep purple, star-bright wine has the magical
Chambolle perfume, is deliciously heady with sweet
cherry fruit and leads to an admirably persistent finish.
Drink 2014-2019.
6
186.00
Chambolle-Musigny, Les Beaux Bruns, 1er Cru

Glowing purple, with a slightly more restrained nose
than the village Chambolle but clearly with extra
weight on the palate, this lovely wine also has crunchy
minerals at the back to maintain a delightful fresh feel.
Drink 2015-2020.
6
315.00
Chambolle-Musigny, Les Baudes, 1er Cru
The bouquet on this wine is perfumed, heady and
really exciting. On the palate it is really together, with a
fine, firm finish to complete an admirable ensemble.
Drink 2016-2022.
6
315.00

Grand Crus
Red
Corton, Le Rognet, Grand Cru, Maison Camille Giroud
This Corton jumps out of the glass with a bolt of perfumed
raspberries and cassis. This is delicacy and power, perfectly
married, with lively fresh acidity and real staying power.

Clos de Vougeot, Grand Cru, Domaine Thibault Liger-Belair
Thibault has a wonderful plot in Clos Vougeot and his almost

spiritual approach to winemaking focuses the class further.
This is big, and very tightly knit at the moment a wine with a
great future ahead of it.

Echezeaux, Grand Cru, Domaine Lamarche
As last year, this is one of the stars of the Lamarche line-up. In

this vintage it shows an extra level of elegance and purity, and
the long finish is fresh and vibrant.

Clos St Denis, Grand Cru, Domaine Roche de Bellene
Nicolas Potels 2009 Clos St Denis has poise and precision

which are all wrapped up in this brooding, yet beguiling wine.
Clos des Lambrays, Grand Cru

This Grand Vin is a lovely wine in 2009. It is suffused
with graceful raspberry and strawberry flavours, along
with some smoke and spice high notes. It has fine
depth and considerable length to complete the
offering. Drink 2016-2025.

Nicolas Rossignol-Trapet
Dujac Fils & Pre
Domaine Sylvie Esmonin
Domaine Rossignol-Trapet
An outstanding range of wines from both this

ngociant arm at Dujac, and from the domaine,
whose wines will not be released until much later in
the year. Their preference for using the stems during
vinification fits perfectly with the style of the vintage.
Sylvie finds 2009 a great vintage, with some of the

same aromatic notes as 2002, along with the
tannins of 2005 and a proper cycle of seasons: a
cold winter, an unsettled spring and a properly
warm summer after storms in July. It is now nearly
ten years since Sylvies current style began to
evolve and it is most encouraging to see how her
wines from vintages such as 2002 are progressing.
The stems and the new oak blend in very well with
the pure, concentrated fruit.
It has been fascinating to chart the process by which this producer has moved from being one of the
decent addresses to an outstanding source of the great wines of Gevrey-Chambertin. It is only
reasonable for them to increase prices for the top wines in their range because they clearly merit being
on a par with other leading domaines in the area. In 2009 all the wines are brilliant, from the lowliest
Gevrey (and perhaps especially the Beaune) upwards.
RED
Gevrey-Chambertin
Bright cherry fruit and succulent, medium intensity
make this the purest example of Gevrey to date from
Dujac Fils & Pre, with refreshing acidity behind. Drink
2012-2015.
270.00
Morey-St Denis
This has a delicious nose that is suave and sensual,
with a little more meat on the bone than the GevreyChambertin, as well as a pleasing acidity behind to
maintain freshness. Drink 2012-2015.
270.00
Chambolle-Musigny
This wine is full of energy but is still very poised, with a
charming little touch of oak and real elegance to the
fruit. It is a very stylish Burgundy at an affordable
price. Drink 2012-2015.
270.00
32
Sylvie Esmonin
RED
Gevrey-Chambertin, Vieilles Vignes
This wine is wearing a rich, full, velvety purple cloak. It
displays a bundle of energy on the palate and a huge
mouthful of predominantly red fruit, backed by the
fresh finish which is allied to the use of stems.
Drink 2015-2020.
330.00
Gevrey-Chambertin, Clos St Jacques, 1er Cru
This wine went through its malolactic fermentation
late, so is very restrained compared to most. It has a
magical intensity to the bouquet and there is a massive
block of red and black fruit on the palate, together with
a powerful finish. This will benefit from a few more
months aging in barrel. Drink 2018-2025.
6
330.00
RED
This wine has beautiful life and lift and will be such a
pleasure to drink, as the persistence of the finish is
superb. Drink 2013-2018.
252.00
Beaune, Teurons, 1er Cru
We dont normally put this bottling in the en primeur
catalogue but it is so good this year that we could not
resist. The fruit is completely mouth-filling and finishes
with classic mineral notes. Drink 2013-2018.
276.00
Gevrey-Chambertin, Aux Etelois
From a vineyard adjacent to the Grands Crus, this is
richer and riper than the Gevrey Vieilles Vignes. It has
intense black fruit with some brambly qualities from
the inclusion of stems, and is still admirably fresh at
the finish. Drink 2014-2019.
315.00
Gevrey-Chambertin, Petite Chapelle, 1er Cru
This Premier Cru crouches at the feet of ChapelleChambertin Grand Cru. There was evidently no
difficulty in ripening the fruit in 2009 and it comes
across as rich and sumptuous, with fine silky tannins.
Drink 2014-2019.
6
240.00
Gevrey-Chambertin, Clos Prieur, 1er Cru

A very opulent package with heady fruit, this wines
richness is nicely restrained by the freshness of the
6
240.00
Latricires-Chambertin, Grand Cru
This wine has beautiful, elegant, deep red fruit and is
very graceful and subtle. The fine fruit stretches all the
way to a lovely finish with an amazingly perfumed
aftertaste. Drink 2015-2022.
6
366.00
Chapelle-Chambertin, Grand Cru
Another wine with very fine colour but a slightly more
discreet nose than the Latricires-Chambertin, this
builds steadily to the back of the palate, fattening
nicely before reaching a precise, yet exceptionally long
finish. Drink 2015-2022+.
6
366.00
Le Chambertin, Grand Cru
The 2009 exudes mellow but glowing red, purple and
black fruit flavours. On the one hand the fruit is very
tightly wound, but it nonetheless expands majestically
the longer the wine stays in the mouth, with a
surprisingly refined finish after the sumptuous fruit. It
is hard to do justice to this wine with words.
Drink 2019-2030.

Christian Srafin
Domaine Christian Srafin

Christian Srafin has now reached retirement age not that you can stop him working. The business is
being officially looked after by his daughter Karine and niece Frdrique, who is in charge in the
vineyards. It is too early to say if this will mean any modification in style, but what is clear is that the
sumptuous fruit of 2009 provides the perfect backdrop for the domaines relatively high proportion of
new oak. These are really impressive wines.
RED
Gevrey-Chambertin
A fine red-purple in colour with staggering intensity of
fruit on the nose, this is a very tightly wound wine with
good acidity. The freshness of the fruit indicates that
there is nothing over-ripe here. Drink 2014-2018.
315.00
This cuve is selected from well-placed older vintages
and has a lovely bright colour, with even denser ripe
red fruit than the straight Gevrey-Chambertin. This
wine also has a wonderfully dynamic feel to it.
Drink 2015-2020.
480.00
Morey-St Denis, Les Millandes, 1er Cru
This wine has immediately attractive fruit but still has
the slightly wilder character of Morey. Dark raspberry
fruit mixes with some fresh red notes, firmly
constructed with a crisp mineral finish. This wine will
last well. Drink 2015-2020.

Gevrey-Chambertin, Les Corbeaux, 1er Cru

An entrancing bouquet of lifted red fruit notes and
good acidity are evident on this charming wine which
has great length and weight altogether thoroughly
satisfying. Drink 2015-2020.
6
270.00
Gevrey-Chambertin, Le Fonteny, 1er Cru
A more powerful wine than the Les Corbeaux, with
lovely concentration and a thick, rich and ripe chewy
texture, brilliant red fruit and impeccable length.
Drink 2016-2025.
6
345.00
Gevrey-Chambertin, Les Cazetiers, 1er Cru
With great perfume on top of really deep fruit (ripe
strawberries, amongst a bevy of other predominantly
red fruits) swamp the palate here and lead on to an
amazing finish. This is great wine! Drink 2018-2028.
