  • As expected this has clearly seen better days. However, it still appears with nice balance and a hint of sous bois.

  • Clavalier's style on his entry level offerings might not be for everyone, but it is something that I do very much enjoy. Bright red fruit over a little bit of earthiness on the nose. High acid in the mouth with some chewy tannin and the same fruit. Drink with food, preferably something with a little bit of fat, like sausage. Rebuy: yes.

  • Drank this over two days. A thin layer of fruit covers a very tough exoskeleton of chewy, charmless structure. A touch of 2009 ripeness would be welcome in this bottle. It may turn out very fine six or eight years on; young bourgogne can be hard to read, and the 2009 Grivot Bourgogne is just as tough. But it fails to woo at the moment.
