  Brooding dark cherry nose and palate. Muscular. Excellent structure, gorgeous transition to a long finish with toast and mint. Seemed terroir-driven.

  Gorgeous nose of rich dark red fruit, earth, some herbs, maybe a touch of heat. Deep and rich cherry and earth on the palate, quite nice. Over time it seems to get more acidic and tannic though, after a couple hours open it's less pleasant for me. Not quite sure what to think of this at this point. 87-89

  Drunk alongside the 2009 Maréchal Chorey-les-Beaune over two nights. These are humble wines, simple yet very pure and satisfying expressions of Burgundy. And, notably for the 2009 vintage, neither bears a single trace of overripeness.
  
  On the nose, this wine (Les Chaillots) was more reticent, a bit herbal, a bit animal, a bit earthy, with a subtle spice note. The CLB was considerably more expressive, with aromas of violets, cherries, a whiff of rare meat, and earth. Though both were defined more by earth than fruit, the Chaillots was the earthier of the two, more herbal and animal, with notes of tarragon, a faint hint of horsehide, and dark iron-rich soil. The CLB was tangy and a touch creamy on the palate, with delicate layers of tart berry, rich black cherry, bitter melon rind, and a deep impression of minerality. I might have preferred the nose of the CLB and the palate of the Chaillots, but more than that I preferred the subtle contrasts between the two.

  Bottled one month ago and just a little shy on the nose. In the mouth iut is rich, intense and earthy. It is a wine of good balance and energy.
