Relatively light red. Delicious developed PN aromas. Surprisingly rough mouth feeling. Tannic, both for the village and the vintage. Definitely not soft and fragrant as most other notes here indicates. So, maybe a not perfect bottle.

Aaaaah! This is what it is all about when loving classic burgundy. Elegance, soupleness, integration and harmony in a bottle. This bottle is at its sweet spot right now and will stay there for at least three years. Such joy and easy drinking. Not huge complexity but pure drinking pleasure showing its heritage as a high end villages.

A private lunch (Restaurant Le Taillevent **, Paris, France): Pinot Noir "dans tout son délicatesse". Fragrant and flowing, floral (rose, violet) and fresh, silky and supple, light as a feather and discrete in flavours, pure and all about finesse and elegance, cool and harmonious, light and long. This is an extremely stylish vin de plaisir.

Delicious wine, red fruited, medium bodied. It's got the delicious fresh acidity that I've seen from quite a few 2010s. This doesn't bat above its village weight division but it's a really enjoyable wine nonetheless.

Excellent for a village wine. Very light in color (like a really deep rosé). The color is no indication of the amazing body, freshness and red berries (mostly strawberry) that come through mid-palate into the finish. Not overtly complex, just really delicious all the way through and held up the whole evening.

From Coravin. The nose is initially a bit strange. Leather, liquorice, boiled orange zest, gasoline!? Some oily and animal notes. But it smells good, though. And it calms down a bit after a while. Fruit driven warm nose with power and a lovely structure. The taste is wonderful and intense. Clear and elegant, cold and delightful mature berries give a high concentration and a thick, velvety mouthfeel. The finish is long and powerful. A bit more developed than expected. But very nice.

This keeps getting better. It took 90 minutes to open and was best on last sip at 3.5 hours. Rated after it opened up. Elegant oak and cedary nose, stones and herbs. Nice complexity on palate with herbs and brambles alongside satiny texture, nice minerality and a long finish.

Beautiful but restrained nose of wet stones, moss, mushroom and touch of oak. Showing surprising complexity for its age/vintage. Good acidity and tannins on the palate with satin texture. Expect that plate will integrate more in a couple years. Much better than my last bottle.

Had this with the 08. This was preferred, but neither were too impressive. Too much oak and tart fruit dominated. I expect it will get better with time, so will be interesting to watch these evolve.

Westchester Wine School Premium Burgundy Tasting (Mamaroneck, NY): Drank blind at WWS tasting vs. 2006 Lachaux Clos St. Denis. The St. Denis had a sweet floral nose. Some fruit, mostly red cherries here, a bit thin and a bit too tannic, no doubt due to the wine's youth. Not much here on the mid palate, and a bit astringent on the finish. A rather disappointing showing as I had great expectations. The Anne Gros 1er cru was a pale crimson color, and showed some age despite its youth. Very generous nose of spice and earthiness that, in my opinion, was the wine's best characteristic. Not-so-ripe red cherries on the palate, mixed with some spice and musty earth. A pretty, elegant wine but, similar to the St. Denis, a bit thin & missing a mid palate. Nice length though. Not a great wine, but certainly superior to the St. Denis.

Nose was filled with quite a bit of smoke/ash and an earthiness around a decent amount of semi-ripe red berries. It doesn't have the boldness that i've grown accustomed to of Chambolle's but the palate had a decent amount of juiciness to it (cherries, raspberries and strawberries). Nice balance of acidity on this one but i was just distracted by the strength of the ashiness at the beginning, which didn't fade over the course of 1.5 hours. A 'nice' Chambolle for drinking now and pretty decent for a village wine.

Drank over 2 hours. Light pretty nose of red fruit, dried flowers and minerals. Lean and taught on the palate. Red and blue fruit. Light and pretty. Dusty tannin. More creaminess over time, but still tannic. Medium to short finish. A nice village level wine but have enjoyed other vintages of this wine more

I love Anne Gros. However, this wine is the wine I have less love fore in her portfolio, even though I always rate this wine around the 90´s. Here we have a lot of blue and red fruit and typical 09 structure. Nice wine but not in the league of her 10.

Mycket röda bär, mogna jordgubbar, körbär och lite skogsbacke. Bra struktur, mjuka tanniner, med mer av frukten i smaken. Lätt, lättdrucket. Kan naturligtvis bli bättre men behöver inte ligga så länge i källarn. Absolut inte för ungt att dricka nu. 2009orna känns väldigt tillgängliga.

A Night of Great Burgs (and a Riesling) (Ascott Residences, Raffles Place): I thought this was an excellent village lieu-dit. Anne Gros normally delivers quality from this plot, but the coolness of the Combe seems to have lifted the wine to an even higher notch in a warm, fleshy vintage like 2009. The bottle had been opened for a couple of hours before I got to it and, straight of the bat, the nose wafted out of the glass with notes of menthol, pinpricks of spice, flowers, sweet red fruits and earth - a very pretty bouquet. The palate was really nice as well. It had the ripe sweetness of the vintage in its morello cherry and raspberry flavours, and more depth than usual for a village, but this was wed to a lovely cut and acidity that is rather more uncommon amongst 2009s - a mark of the microclimate in the Combe perhaps. The finish was really pretty too, floating away with a waft of flowers. A silky, feminine wine that was every bit a Chambolle, this may not have been in the same league as the 1er Crus and Grand Crus that we had on this night of embarassing riches, but it was about as good a village as I have had in a long time.

2011 Special Session 2: When popped and poured, this was airy on the nose that filled with red fruits: cherry, strawberry, raspberry as well as red floral and hint of forest floor. Unlike some of the 2009 I have tried, this started out lean with good transparency and focus instead of the opulent fruits forward character of 2009. Pure and feminine with short-medium length finish. Not bad but I expected more. 90mins later, the wine become more intense on both nose and palate, tannin surface for the firm structured and grip on the palate with better length. Not bad. 87-89

Good spicy, fruity disposition, a tad less flamboyant and sexy than I remembered it last, but a nice solid pinot. Touches of ripe strawberry, woodspice, juicy midpalate.

Domaine Tasting at Anne Gros (Burgundy, France): From half bottle at the Domaine. Very pretty, pure red fruits with a definite floral lift. An iron streak running right through it. Very pretty spice. Great intensity and a mineral driven finish. Medium finish.
