Flight 1 (3 Notes)

  • 2009 Faiveley Mercurey La Framboisière 88 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte Chalonnaise, Mercurey

    Nice nose of red cherry and baking spice. Tight and a bit rustic on the palate. Light to medium bodied with nice medium+ acidity. Not fruit forward but some tart raspberry, earth and a bit of oak showing on the finish. Potential here but this needs time.

  • 2009 Joseph Drouhin Volnay 90 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Volnay

    Reticent nose at first, some strawberry, opened up with time. Red cherry fruit on the palate, light to medium body, low to medium acidity. Nice silky mouthfeel. A bit simple, but very tasty.

  • 2009 Joseph Drouhin Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru 89 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru

    Pretty nose. Floral, sweet red fruit with herbal notes that remind me of vermouth. Sappy red and black cherry on the palate, low to medium acidity. Nice, but the fruit is a touch ripe and sweet for my taste.
