All fruit on the nose, both red and black fruit, which continues on to the palate. Spice seems mostly from oak. Moderate length and nuance, but really impressive this young for this level. 100% new oak from vines approximately 50 years old in the Villages part of Clos Prieur downslope from Mazis.

Dark fruit aromatics continue onto the palate. Dark spice comes out in middle, this already comes across nicely balanced. Lots of power on the end.

Lots of big fruit, both red and black, with great spice. Wine comes across as completely seamless and integrated, amazingly at this youn point in its life. Starts off very elegant and pretty with some good floral aspects. Ends with more power, emphasizing dense fruit. Really special wine, better than I remember from when I tasted in the spring.

Barrel tasting. Lots of spice, both from oak and the underlying fruit. Very attractive and enticing aromatics. Middle and end show quite a bit of tannins and the oak is a bit prominent. Finish returns nicely back to fruit and spice.

Barrel tasting. For me, a big step up from the Chambolle Lavrottes in that it came across more balanced already. Also big and highly structured, this is showing lots of meaty Gevrey character at this young stage in its development.

Barrel tasting. Really impressive combination of red and black fruit. Today the fruit is big and fruit with lots of texture. very long and energetic finish.

Barrel tasting. Also lots of red and black fruit, but this showcases the spice as much as the fruit. Great balance of tannins, acids and fruit, this comes across as a Grand Cru that will be accessible young.

Barrel tasting. One of the more fruit-driven wines in the lineup. Lush and dense, also showing nice cocoa and vanilla spice, a good part of which is from oak. Like almost everybody producing wine in Clos Vougeot, Olivier takes pride in his terroir, which he says is from the 3rd grower from the wall across from Grands-Echezeaux, which puts it somewhere in the southwest part of the vineyard, which he says is also around the middle of the slope.

Barrel tasting. A bit more red fruit on nose with lots of floral character, then blacker cherry on the palate. Perhaps the most pronounced spice profile in the lineup. This really showed great combinations of fruit and lots of minerality. Whole cluster seemed to make the greatest contribution in this wine. Lots of energy and power on long finish. This will be a long-term hold with excellent potential.

Barrel tasting. Lots of CO2 today so I found this very difficult to fairly assess.

Barrel tasting. Huge, gorgeous lack fruit on nose and palate. Great floral aromatics. Fruit here is just so pure and generous, combined with incredibly silky sweet tannins. This is a step-up from the 2008 Mazis, which I thought to be incredibly impressive. This is a big, bulky masculine wine with a few sharp elbows today but should be exceptional in the future.

Barrel tasting. Powerful dense fruit with great spice, interestingly spice that was almost more Vosne to me than Gevrey. But this is a gorgeous hedonistic wine showing great power and sexy charm. I think it at the same level as the Mazis, making it one of his two top cuvees for the vintage. My more experienced colleagues thought this even better than the Mazis.

Barrel tasting. Showed the lush forward fruit very characteristic of white Burgundy in this vintage. Perhaps showing a bit more oak that needs to be integrate than i'd prefer, but obviously still so young.

Barrel tasting. Very impressive floral and spicy aromatics. This is a wine I could enjoy smelling all evening. Fruit is charming and lush and ripe, also characteristic of 2009 white Burgundy, but only showed moderate nuance on finish today.
