Stephen Tanzer schreibt über den Jahrgang 2009 sinngemäß, dies wäre der Wein den viele (amerikanische, aber nicht nur solche) Kunden dachten gekauft zu haben, als sie die 2005er erstmals probierten. Wer 2005 (hoffentlich trotzdem) gekauft hat, wird sofort wissen was gemeint ist. Die 2009er sind wirklich so reif und verführerisch wie man sich einen opulenten und hochgelobten Jahrgang vorstellt. Im Gegensatz zu 2005, der jetzt vielfach nahezu untrinkbar und verschlossen ist, sind die 2009er wunderbar seidige, duftige Pinots, sehr reif aber nicht röstig und von einer seltenen Fleischigkeit und verführerischen Süße in der Frucht. Und das werden sie auch bleiben. Ob der Jahrgang wirklich ganz groß (wie 2005) ist, ist mittlerweile Anlaß heftiger Kontroversen und die Beurteilungen der Fachjournalisten weichen oft dermaßen voneinander ab, daß hier wieder ein wunderbares Betätigungsfeld für Pinot-Glaubenskriege gegeben ist. Burgund eben!
Ich halte 2009 für einen hervorragenden und äußerst attraktiven Jahrgang, der durch seine reife und frische rotbeerige Frucht und große Balance nicht nur früher trinkbar sein wird, sondern je nach Winzer und Lage auch gutes bis großes Potential hat. Wie sehr mir der Jahrgang auch persönlich am Herzen liegt, können Sie vielleicht daran erkennen, daß ich nicht nur bei meinen Rhône-Winzern sondern gerade in Burgund darauf gedrängt habe, viele Lagen in Magnumflaschen zu füllen.
Noch ein Wort zu den Preisen. Die im Windschatten der Preisexplosion für Bordeaux 2009 befürchteten massiven Preissteigerungen machen international zwar viel Wirbel, sind bei den von mir bis dato angebotenen Winzern aber bisher nicht eingetreten. Im Gegenteil, die weitgehend stabilen Preise machen den Jahrgang bei sorgfältiger Auswahl und rechtzeitiger Entscheidung zum wohl interessantesten Kauf der letzten Jahre!

Excellent, and very Consistent, Vintage of Opulence, Charm and Seduction"

| Domaine des Malandes | |||

Die
Domaine des Malandes war mir in den letzten Jahren immer wieder durch ihre
klaren und fruchtbetonten Weine aufgefallen. Der frische und elegante Stil
dieser Weine wirkt einladend und verführerisch zu trinken. Im Gegensatz
dazu habe ich mich mit den wuchtigen Weinen einiger hoch bewerteten
Starwinzern bis dato nicht so recht anfreunden können. Worauf es mir beim
Weißwein letztlich ankommt ist Wein als Trinkvergnügen mit klassisch
eleganter Proportion und Typizität, genau das was den Reiz von Chablis
ausmacht. Entscheidend in der Auswahl für mich ist die unterschiedliche Charakteristik der Lagen, Vau de Vey als feingliedrig und stahlig, Côte de Lechet mit prägnanter Mineralität und Fourchaume als kraftvoller mineralischer Burgunder. Mein Favorit ist seit Jahren die Lage Vau de Vey, die für mich die prägnanteste Kombination aus Eleganz, Mineralität und Rassigkeit verkörpert, mein Bilderbuch-Weißwein! Lyne Marchive, die Besitzerin der Domaine des Malandes hat mit ihrem jungen „Régisseur“ und Önologen Guénolé Breteaudeau einen echten Glücksgriff getan. Die Weine werden von Jahr zu Jahr präziser und feiner. Die 2009er sind hier von einer feinen Mineralik mit einem Hauch reifer exotischer Früchte geprägt. Allen Meadows schreibt u.a. “this isn’t exactly classic in style but it’s awfully good”. |

| 88-91 Burghound.com, October 2010 (from a 3.5 ha parcel aged in 100% stainless). A green fruit nose carries an odd note of sauvignon blanc (odd in the context of this ripe vintage) as well as mineral reduction hints that lead to rich, round and nicely complex and plump flavors that possess fine vibrancy on the refreshing finish. This could be drunk now or cellared for several years first. | |||

18,90 | |
| 89-92 Burghound.com, October 2010 (from Fourchaume proper). A ripe but not surmature nose of white peach, pear and floral hints gives way to fresh, cool, racy and stony flavors that are delicious and focused and while not overly dense, remain balanced and impressively persistent. A Fourchaume of finesse. | |||
| 2009 Chablis Grand Cru Le Clos | 45,00 | ||
| 91-93 Burghound.com, October 2010 There is slightly more obvious wood present though not enough to really detract from the floral and white peach suffused nose that is in keeping with the floral character of the mineral-driven, dense, powerful and quite serious flavors that, like the Vaudésir, have a touch of sweetness on the precise and explosive finish. Again, this isn’t exactly classic in style but it’s awfully good just the same. | |||

There is a bit more of everything here except elegance. | |||

(from
a .53 ha parcel planted in 1962 and matured in mostly older oak but there
is a small percentage of new wood). Very
generous wood where vanilla and oak spice notes presently dominate the
otherwise fresh white flower nose that is followed by rich and notably
powerful big-bodied flavors that ooze a fine minerality onto the palate
along with plenty of dry extract, all wrapped in a superbly complex and
lingering finish. This is presently carrying too much wood for my taste
but the density appears to be sufficient to successfully absorb it and
thus, the benefit of the doubt is extended. 19,5 Clive-Coates.com Lovely high-toned, flowery-herbal nose. Fullish body. Ripe, balanced, succulent and harmonious. Lots of energy. Multi-dimensional. Excellent. |

18,90 | |
| 89-92 Burghound.com, October 2008 (from Fourchaume proper). Ripe pear, quinine, lime and acacia blossom characterize the nose of this attractive offering with its supple and seductively textured flavors that are underpinned by a firm core of acidity that confers shape and definition onto the lingering mineral suffused finish. Lovely in every respect and I particularly like the balance here. | |||
| Domaine Jean-Louis Chavy | |||
| Puligny-Montrachet
zu entdecken ist
nun
wirklich keine
Neuigkeit, sehr
gute
und noch dazu preislich vernünftige Winzer ausfindig zu machen,
allerdings schon.
Jean-Louis Chavy stammt aus einer seit über 200 Jahre in Puligny ansässigen Winzerfamilie, die bis vor wenigen Jahren ihre Weine ausschließlich an den Handel verkaufte. Erst 1986 begann Gerard Chavy mit seinen beiden Söhnen Alain und Jean-Louis die Qualität selbst in die Hand zu nehmen und sich einen respektablen Ruf zu erwerben. Nach einigen Jahren gemeinsamer Führung hat Jean-Louis Chavy 2003 seinen Erbteil an den Weingärten nun in eine eigene Domaine übernommen und pflegt einen konsequent puristischen und eleganten Stil ohne zu deutlich merkbaren Holzeinfluß. Mir waren seine Weine zugegebenermaßen bisher nur als Geheimtipp aus den Preislisten einiger sehr renommierter internationaler Weinhändler und Burgund-Spezialisten bekannt. Meine Verkostungseindrücke und die für Puligny-Montrachet extrem günstigen Preise haben mich aber keine Sekunde zögern lassen, wieder ins "große" Weißweinfach einzusteigen. Schön langsam wird der delikate mineralische Stil von Jean-Louis Chavy aber bekannter und auch von der Fachpresse mit Spitzenbewertungen z.B. im führenden englischen Weinmagazin Decanter entsprechend gewürdigt. In einer repräsentativen Panel-Verkostung mit mehr als 150 Weinen aus Puligny und Chassagne wurde die beiden von mir gelisteten 1er Crus von Chavy an die dritte bzw. siebente Stelle gereiht! |

Clive Coates: „One of my favorite Meursault domaines". In den 90er-Jahren hatte Yves Boyer zu einem wahren
Höhenflug angesetzt. Seine mineralischen und subtilen Weine brauchten
in Meursault keinen Vergleich mit Legenden wie Coche-Dury oder Comtes
Lafon zu scheuen. Für mich ist dies ein Idealtypus von Weißwein:
konzentriert aber weder wuchtig noch überreif, mit einer feinen
mineralischen Säure, einer klaren frischen Frucht und für Burgund ein
Hauch spürbares neues Holz. |

Diese Domaine ist aus gutem Grund seit zwanzig Jahren in meinem Programm. Seit Geoffroy Choppin de Janvry im Jahr 2000 das Weingut von seiner Tante übernahm, sind die Weine noch sorgfältiger und delikater geworden. Die Trauben werden jetzt für einen fruchtbetonteren Stil etwas später und reifer gelesen, der Einsatz von neuem Holz beschränkt sich auf ein Minimum um die Klarheit der Pinot-Aromen nicht durch das Holz zu prägen. Hier wurde ohne daß es groß sichtbar wurde in kleinen Schritten alles umgekrempelt und präzisiert und aktuell befindet sich die Domaine in Umstellung ihrer Weingärten auf organische Bewirtschaftung.Besonders bemerkenswert ist aber, daß die nach Ansicht aller Weinkritiker seit vielen Jahren qualitativ führende Domaine in Beaune eine Preispolitik eingeschlagen hat, die Seltenheitswert hat. Die Preise sind seit mehr als zehn Jahren weitgehend konstant geblieben und bieten ein exzellentes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis.' 2009 macht da keine Ausnahme, die Weine sind etwas opulenter als üblich, Preis und Bewertungen aber im Vergleich zu den vorhergehenden Jahrgängen nahezu ident. |

Plenty of potential here. | |||

| 89-92 Stephen Tanzer - International Wine Cellar, Jan/Feb 2011 Good bright, deep red. Superripe aromas of raspberry, cherry and chocolate. Fat, sweet and very ripe; showing less finesse and definition than the Marconnets or Bressandes but this is in a very creamy style. Finishes with substantial dusty tannins and very good length. The alcohol here is north of 13.5% but the wine does not come off as hot. | |||

A
similar yet even more complex nose adds an appealing spice component
before merging smoothly into rich, supple and delicious middle weight
flavors that also possess a lovely mouth feel though again, the presence
of ample gas confers a distinct tanginess onto the persistent finish. My
range offers the benefit of the doubt as the tannins appear to be
ripe. 90-92 Stephen Tanzer - International Wine Cellar, March/April 2010 Good dark red. Wild aromas of medicinal red cherry, brown spices and meat, with a suggestion of exotic fruits. Dense, deep and savory, with a mineral complexity that goes beyond the other 2008s here. Big, rich and lightly saline wine with the flesh to support its tannins; in fact, I can't recall a vintage in which Morot's Teurons showed suppler tannins at this stage than the Bressandes. Vibrant and fine-grained wine with excellent mouth coverage. This was the ripest cru in 2008, coming in with 13% potential alcohol. |
|||
| 2007 Beaune 1er Cru Les Teurons | 30,00 | ||
| 90-93 Stephen Tanzer - International Wine Cellar, March/April 2009 Good dark, bright red. Black cherry, menthol and a whiff of game on the nose. Large-scaled and supple; less sweet and fine-grained than the Bressandes, with a more medicinal character and darker fruit flavors. Best today on the broad, strong finish, which features excellent energy and firm, mounting tannins that currently cut off the wine's fruit. This will need four or five years of bottle aging. | |||
| 2006 Beaune 1er Cru Les Toussaints | 33,00 | ||
| 89-91 Burghound.com, April 2008 Red and black raspberry aromas trimmed in subtle notes of wood and damp earth merge into rich and a bit more refined mineral-suffused flavors that are also delicious with even better intensity and finishing detail. This is really a lovely effort as it combines fine complexity and excellent length. This could surprise to the upside as the underlying material is really quite fine. | |||

An
expressive and high-toned nose offers up notes of red currant and wild
raspberry trimmed
in soft earth nuances that also characterize the nicely rich and round
medium-bodied flavors that display fine depth and length. Like many
wines in the range in 2008, there is a mild tanginess and plenty of gas
but again, the supporting structural elements seem to be adequately
ripe. 89-92 Stephen Tanzer - International Wine Cellar, March/April 2010 Good medium red. Complex nose melds black cherry, leather, spices and earth. Intensely flavored and distinctly wild, with atypical power and structure for this cru. Tricky to taste now owing to a high level of gas. The saline finish features a distinctly tactile quality and building tannins. This will need a good seven or eight years of cellaring. |
|||
| 2006 Beaune 1er Cru Les Bressandes | 36,00 | ||

Burghound.com,
April 2008
In
contrast to the expressiveness of the prior wines, here the nose is
reserved with reluctant aromas of black raspberry and underbrush hints
that are also reflected by the rich, delicious, intense and subtly
mineral-infused flavors that culminate in a balanced, sweet and
impressively long finish. Classy juice. 89-91(+?) Stephen Tanzer - International Wine Cellar, March/April 2009 Deep, bright red. Complex, vinous nose offers raspberry, cherry, mocha and tobacco. Suave on entry, then rather backward in the middle palate, hinting at a musky complexity but showing more soil tones than primary fruit today. Boasts a silkier texture than the Aigrots and an enticing restrained sweetness and captivating inner-palate perfume, but this will need time. Very nicely balanced and serious wine, finishing with substantial tongue- and toothdusting tannins. This wine has been backward from the start. |

(a
.67 ha parcel of 50+ year old vines). A distinctly cool and reserved
nose of ripe dark berry fruit mixed with ample warm earth notes merges
into rich, full and beautifully precise middle weight flavors that are
quite firmly structured on the impressively complex finish. Like the
other just bottled cuvées, this is presently slightly dry but it should
eat the SO2 quickly. 88-91 Stephen Tanzer - International Wine Cellar, March/April 2007 Bright red-ruby. Sappy blackcurrant, minerals and spices; less obviously oaky today then the Toussaints. Sweet but light on its feet, with lovely innermouth perfume. Bright acids enliven the flavors of dark cherry and spices. A bit less open than the last wine in texture. Finishes a bit tight and quite firm, with lingering notes of cherry and minerals. This, too boast solid structure for aging. |
|||
| 2003 Beaune 1er Cru Les Marconnets | 34,00 | ||
| 89-92 Stephen Tanzer - International Wine Cellar, Mar/Apr 2005 Red-ruby. Reticent nose hints at dark fruits and surmaturite Sweet, rich and layered in the mouth, with slightly disjointed, liqueur-like flavors of roasted plum and redcurrant. But this very ripe wine boasts excellent concentration and possesses adequate acidity. Quite long on the back. | |||

Dieser für burgundische
Verhältnisse kleine Negociant-Betrieb
zählt zu den besten und interessantesten Erzeugern, die ich
in den letzten Jahren kennenlernte. 1865 gegründet, war dieses Haus bis
Anfang dieses Jahrhunderts eine Bastion der Traditionalität schlechthin:
konzentrierte Burgunder, die Jahre und oft Jahrzehnte der Reife
benötigten und von ihren Besitzern auch erst dann verkauft wurden. Allerdings wollten die Banken diese
Geschäftspraktik der Brüder Giroud nicht länger finanzieren und
drängten auf einen Stilwandel und rascheren Umschlag der Weine. Statt
sich dem Diktat der Banken und des Weinmarktes zu unterwerfen, verkauften
sie lieber an eine Gruppe amerikanischer Investoren unter der Führung der
kalifornischen Kult-Winzerin Ann Colgin. Anstatt den Betrieb aber durch
moderne Kellerausstattung aufzurüsten, wurde der Zufluss von Kapital
genützt, um die Arbeitsabläufe und die traditionelle Vinifikation zu
verbessern. Nicht Edelstahl sondern hölzerne Gärbottiche schaffte man an,
man renovierte die
uralte Baumpresse, verkürzte den Fassausbau von drei Jahren auf die
üblichen 18+ Monate und kauft nunmehr ausschließlich Trauben zur eigenen
Vinifikation zu. Nach wie vor wird hier wenig neues Holz (nur gebrauchte
Barriques) verwendet, die Weine sind aber seit 2002 deutlich
fruchtbetonter und früher zugänglich als die Jahrgänge davor. Mit wem
immer man heute in Burgund spricht, die Weine von Camille Giroud und des
jungen Kellermeister David Croix werden in den höchsten Tönen gelobt. Für Kellermeister David Croix besitzt 2009 zwar nicht die ganz große Struktur wie 2005, die 2009er haben aber die attraktivere und süßere Frucht, eine potentielle Mischung aus 1999 und 1990. Na wenn das nicht genug ist! Ich hatte eher das Problem, welche Lage ich nicht kaufen soll. Für mich sind die 2009er hier in jeder Appellation hervorragend gelungen und vor allem typische Vertreter des eleganten und hellfruchtigen Stils des Hauses. Wann hat man schon je so fleischige und gleichzeitig elegante Weine aus Pommard oder Corton probiert. Wie überhaupt die Côte de Beaune-Weine auch der anderen Produzenten ganz hervorragend sind. |

possess a seductive mouth feel on the supple and persistent finish. This
isn’t overly complex but there is good muscle and length. www.burgundy-report.com Summer 2010 Fresh red fruit with hints of mint. The palate is equally fresh but with plenty of concentration in reserve. Super balance, this is finely wrought. |

Here
the nose is much more reserved, indeed almost mute and only aggressive
swirling liberates aromas of red berry fruit, pungent earth and a distinct

moderately austere finish. www.burgundy-report.com Summer 2010 Again, full-on aromatics – red fruit and mineral – the last drops smell fabulous. Silky texture, more mineral flavours and very intense – a totally different personality to the Rognets. Super. |

Like
the Chambertin, this sports a somber but even more complex nose that is
actually surprisingly elegant with lovely aromatic purity to the very
dense aromas of red and blue pinot fruit plus violet notes that complement
the notably ripe, earthy and serious medium full-bodied flavors brimming
with dry extract that renders the firm tannins almost invisible on the
precisely detailed and hugely long finish where the classic hallmark
austerity of young Clos de Vougeot is well represented. I quite like this
but note that plenty of cellar time will be required first. www.burgundy-report.com Summer 2010 The aromas seem stricter – they are certainly more savoury – but the are not ‘difficult’. In the mouth, while less kaleidoscopic, this is more focused and precise than the Chambertin in exactly the same way the Cortons were to the xxx-Chambertins. This is really an excellent wine. |

| 87-89 Burghound.com, April 2009 An expressive, pungently earthy and attractively complex nose of primarily red berry fruit aromas gives way to supple, round and fresh middle weight flavors that possess solid detail and vibrancy on the linear and lightly mineral-suffused finish. This is a focused and pretty effort and while the nose offers good depth, the finish seems more fruit-driven though this of course may change during the course of bottle aging. | |||

This
is very Vosne with an exuberantly spicy plum and blue fruit nose that also
reveals hints of earth,
spice and violets that merge seamlessly into rich, full and naturally
sweet medium-bodied flavors that possess good volume and
extract that really coats the mouth on the impressively persistent finish.
A really lovely villages. 87-90 Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar - Mar/Apr 2009 (the fruit from old vines was vinified with its stems, while the younger vines were destemmed and subjected to a more energetic extraction) Good deep red with ruby highlights. Strong nose offers black raspberry, blackberry, licorice, minerals and flowers. Juicy and densely packed, with good grip and precision to its dark fruit, licorice, spice and floral flavors. Finishes with fine-grained tannins and good persistence. A lovely village wine in the making, offering a nice combination of sweetness and energy. |
|||
| 2006 Savigny-les-Beaune 1er Cru Les Peuillets | 26,50 | ||
| 88-90 Burghound.com, April 2008 Here the nose is slightly riper with both red and black fruit aromas along with ample Savigny style earth nuances that introduce rich, full and sweet flavors that possess a fine texture on the supple, round and nicely balanced finish that also offers up a trace of minerality. | |||
| 2006 Beaune 1er Cru Cent Vignes | 33,00 | ||
| 88 Burghound.com, April 2008 An expressive nose of moderate ripeness features mostly red berry fruit, particularly raspberry and cherry aromas as well as subtle spice and earth notes that precede rich, supple and forward flavors that are not overly complex but they are very Beaune in style as this is quite generous and agreeable but with punch and energy. | |||
| 2006 Corton Grand Cru Chaumes | 66,00 | ||
| 91-93 Burghound.com, April 2008 (from 80+ year old vines made in 2006 with 50% whole bunches) . A discreet touch of wood frames a very fresh and bright broad array of aromas that include earth, game and spice elements to the red and blue pinot fruit aromas where pretty floral notes are also present and are in keeping with the rich, full and serious big-bodied flavors that are quite firm but the structural elements are ripe, all wrapped in a powerful and well-muscled finish. Impressive. | |||
| 2006 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Crais | 29,50 | ||
| 84-86 Burghound.com, April 2008 An earthy dark berry fruit nose that is very Gevrey in character with its underbrush and game hints that precede the fresh, intense and detailed flavors that are not overly complex but they’re delicious, vibrant and persistent. If this adds depth in bottle, it should merit the top of the predicted range. | |||
| 2004 Corton Grand Cru Rognets | 66,00 | ||
| 90-92
Burghound.com,
April 2006
Moderate reduction partially obscures the red, black and violet aromas
plus flavors that are slightly riper on the fleshy, broad and generous
finish that is quite forward for a young Corton yet this will undoubtedly
age well as there is remarkably good balance and persistence here. While
it is open today, I expect that this will close up after the bottling as
the underlying structure is pronounced if buried at present. www.burgundy-report.com Summer 2006 High registers of floral notes, middle registers of ripe red cherry plus a deeper, tighter impression - multi-layering at its best. A step-up in texture and density vs the last wines; linear and concentrated. A very pretty and long wine with super acidity. It's a little tight, yet despite the linear face there's no harshness. Super. |
|||
| 2004 Nuits-St.-Georges 1er Cru Les Vaucrains | 54,00 | ||
| 88-91 Burghound.com, April 2006 This is a classically styled Vaucrains with intensely earthy yet spicy black pinot fruit and austere, robust, muscular and powerful flavors that are not especially elegant but serious and long. This is firmly tannic, indeed one of the more structured wines in the range and will definitely require up to a decade in the cellar first. | |||

Burghound.com,
January 2005 This is a seriously powerful wine with impressive volume
and muscle to the very ripe red pinot fruit and sappy, concentrated and complex
flavors that deliver outstanding length. Despite the power, this remains elegant
and very pure and the phrase “power without weight” captures the character
to a tee. 91+ Pierre-Antoine Rovani - The Wine Advocate, August 2005 Medium to full-bodied, this structured, deep, gorgeously sweet wine displays candied cherry flavors, It is concentrated and exhibits a long finishfilled with ripe yet solid tannin. |

| Eine echte Perle aus dem legendären Altweinkeller der Camille Giroud. Wenn Sie einmal wissen wollen, warum Burgund so verführerisch und unwiderstehlich sein kann, müssen Sie einmal einen wirklich gereiften Wein im Glas haben. Nachdem ich diesen 78er schon mehrmals verkosten durfte, musste ich doch einige der letzte offerierten Bouteillen erstehen. Leider sind die Altweine nicht mehr so günstig wie zu Zeiten der Brüder Giroud, sie sind jedoch von erstklassiger und ständig überprüfter Qualität und Provenienz und rechtfertigen jederzeit ihren Preis. | |||
| Maison Roche de Bellene - Nicolas Potel |
|
||
|
I ch habe die Karriere von Nicolas Potel fast von Anbeginn begleitet und seinen präzisen und unprätentiösen Stil immer sehr geschätzt. Nach seinem erzwungenen Ausscheiden aus dem von ihm gegründeten und seinen Name tragenden Unternehmen hat er in Beaune einen spektakulären Neustart gewagt. Mit dem Maison Roche de Bellene als Negociant und der eigenen organisch bewirtschafteten Domaine de Bellene mit 20ha Eigenbesitz hat Nicolas Potel nicht nur die meisten Verträge für die Zukäufe sondern auch einige Weingärten in die eigene Domaine übernommen. Das Portfeuille ist nunmehr ausschließlich auf mindestens 50-jährige Weingärten angelegt und bietet nach wie vor die gesamte Palette aller wichtigen Lagen Burgunds, wenn auch wie gehabt meist in homöopathischen Mengen.In Zukunft wird der gesamte Betrieb nach biodynamischen Methoden geführt (gegenwärtig in Konversion und ab 2009 zertifiziert) und ausschließlich Weingärten mit mindestens 50 Jahre alten Reben bewirtschaftet. Diesen Ansprüchen werden nicht nur die eigenen Weinen sondern auch die zugekauften Lagen unterworfen. Stilistisch bedeutet das die Fortsetzung und Weiterentwicklung der auch in der Vergangenheit bereits puristischen Vinifikation. Die weitere Zurücknahme der kellertechnischen Interventionen bedeutet u.a., daß hier in Zukunft dem Terroir, d.h. dem jeweiligen spezifischen Ausdruck - was immer das bedeutet oder wie das schmecken kann - absoluter Vorrang eingeräumt wird. Auf den ersten Blick klingt das bekannt, die größten Unterschiede kann man aber schon erahnen, wenn man die ersten Weine probiert. Sie sind nämlich durch die Bank unbehandelt, d.h. nicht geschönt, filtriert und vor allem auch nicht aufgebessert. Obwohl die Alkoholgrade sich durchschnittlich bei für Burgund bescheidenen 12% bewegen, sind die Weine unglaublich dicht und kraftvoll. Mir fallen in diesem Zusammenhang eigentlich nur die "Weine" von Cédric Bouchard ein, dessen Verzicht auf jede Dosage keinen sauren Extra Brut hervorbringt, sondern "Weine" mit einer in der Champagne bis dato unbekannten Mineralität und Frucht. Ich hatte dieses Frühjahr die Gelegenheit oder vielmehr das Privileg mehr als dreißig Weine davon zu probieren, eine geradezu atemberaubende Tour de Force durch Burgund 2009, was mir danach einige (auch finanziell bedingt) schlaflose Nächte bescherte. Hier findet sich alles unter einem Dach, von der kristallinen Mineralität und komplexen Exotik in Puligny-Montrachet über die kernige Eleganz von Volnay bis zu den ganz großen Lagen von Vosne-Romanée und Chambertin! Durch die Bank eine phantastische Serie! |

| 89-91 Stephen Tanzer - International Wine Cellar, Sept/Oct 2010 (about 43% new oak, which is high for Potel) A lot of vanilla and toast on the nose. The spicy oak element carries through onto the round palate, which is given lift by minerals and flowers. Peach and soft citrus fruits emerge with aeration, contributing to the wine's smoothness of texture. Builds nicely on the finish. I may be underrating this wine. | |||

An awkward showing today for this very ripe wine. | |||
| 2009 Volnay 1er Cru Mitans + 150cl | 39,00 | ||
| 89-92 Stephen Tanzer - International Wine Cellar, Jan/Feb 2011 Good dark red. Chocolate, spices and menthol on the nose. Sweet on entry, then quite firm and backward in the middle palate, with juicy flavors of black cherry and mint. In a cooler, more medicinal style than the Pitures. Best today on the fresh, long, rather delicate aftertaste. (My sample of the Taillepieds showed a strong crushed stone character but also a dry spot in the middle.) | |||

| Nicolas Potel wird eigentlich fast ausschließlich mit seinen Rotweinen identifiziert. In den letzten Jahren ist sein Portfolio an Weißweinen kontinuierlich gewachsen und umfaßt heute zahlreiche Appellationen bis hin zu Montrachet. Die produzierten Mengen dieser Weine sind in der Regel aber sehr gering und daher so schnell verkauft, daß ich selten die Gelegenheit bekomme, überhaupt welche zu verkosten. Auch dieses Jahr habe ich wieder meine Lieblingsappellation für sehr gute und dennoch preislich vernünftige weiße Burgunder ausgewählt, den St. Romain aus sehr alten Reben. Dessen frische Aromatik und mineralischer Kern ist durchaus mit mit wesentlich teureren Meursault vergleichbar, und das zu einem äußerst fairen Preis. | |||

Well-defined and ripe on the palate, fine tannins, moderate weight with a crunchy, red-berried finish. Fine and full of joie-de-vivre. |

full red. Complex, soil-driven nose offers redcurrant, leather, mocha,
minerals and earth; conveys an impression of noble rusticity. Fat, sweet
and silky, with a mineral pungency and a saline element dominating its
underlying fruit. A complex expression of terroir, finishing with
impressive building length. 90-92 Burghound.com, Jan 2009 The most aromatically complex wine in this group of Volnay 1ers with a gorgeously seductive and even classier nose of spicy, ripe, pure and airy red and blue fruit, violets, rose petal and a hint of wet stone that is picked up by the silky, detailed and mineral-driven flavors that etch themselves into the palate, all wrapped in a hugely persistent finish. Curiously, this gives up a bit of precision to the Santenots yet is even longer; either way, it’s terrific. |

red. Attractive nose offers red fruits and flowers. Juicy and precise,
with complex flavors of red fruits, red licorice, herbs and spices. A very
refined version of Clos Vougeot, not the last word in depth but sappy,
spicy and smooth. Finishes with mounting persistence, noteworthy grip and
lingering floral perfume. 91-93 Burghound.com, Jan 2009 A highly complex nose, indeed so much so that it possesses one of the most complex noses in the entire range with a pretty red berry, layered warm earth and perfumed spice notes that are interestingly contrasted against sauvage hints that can also be found on the compelling, powerful, full and beautifully intense broad-shouldered and tautly muscled flavors that culminate in a long, dense and youthfully austere finish. I like the phenolic ripeness of the structural elements and this should age for the better part of a decade. |

Intensely flavored and sweet, with strong acids framing and enlivening the
sappy flavors of raspberry, flowers and crushed stone. Surpasses the Clos
Saint-Denis in both lift and depth and finishes with more sweetness.
Should be a lovely example of this grand cru. 91-93 Burghound.com, Jan 2009 This is ever so slightly riper and more complex with a somewhat broader nose of red, blue and violet aromas trimmed in noticeable if discreet oak that is also picked up by the fresh, suave, round and impressively powerful bigbodied flavors that are textured, detailed and exceptionally long. This appears to have first rate material and a lovely sense of energy and underlying harmony that should allow for 8 to 10 years of upside development. |

Kritiker
überschlagen sich beinahe in Lob für diese Domaine. "Who makes
better wine in Nuits-Saint-Georges than Robert Chevillon?" (Coates)
"Simply put, this is the supreme domaine in Nuits-Saint-Georges. This
is Nuits-Saint-Georges as it should be be but so rarely is: concentrated,
tannic, almost painfully intense, yet with no apparent winemaking
signature." (Kramer) Dieser Beschreibung bräuchte ich eigentlich
nichts hinzuzufügen, ist Robert Chevillon auch für mich einer meiner
langjährigen Favoriten in Burgund, ein großer Klassiker der Côte
de-Nuits. Seit Robert Chevillon den Keller seinem Sohn Bernard überlassen
hat, haben die Weine noch an Präzision und Klarheit gewonnen. Über die Weine selbst braucht man eigentlich keine Worte mehr zu verlieren. Sie sind nicht billig, aber es gibt auch wenige Produzenten in Nuits-St.-Georges die ich in den letzten zwei Jahrzehnten probiert habe, die nur annähernd die Konsistenz, die stilistische Breite der unterschiedliche Terroirs und das absolute Spitzenniveau bieten. |

Lovely.
87-90 Stephen Tanzer - International Wine Cellar, March/April 2008 Bright dark red. Very ripe aromas of dark raspberry, spices and dark chocolate. Suppler and creamier than the Chaignots, with lovely complexity to its flavors of black cherry, minerals, chocolate and spicy oak. Nicely ripe wine, finishing with notes of leather and minerals. |

| 88-90 Burghound.com, April 2006 (40 year old vines). Elegant and high-toned red pinot fruit laced with aromas of cherry and subtle earth notes that complement finely detailed, focused and precise middle weight flavors that are transparent and culminate in a dusty, punchy and persistent finish. As always, this is more about finesse than power yet the balance is such that this should age well over the medium term. | |||

(from
a .70 ha parcel of 50+ year old vines). In contrast to the elegance of the
Perrières, this is much more deeply pitched with distinct floral aromas
and nuances of spice, earth and a certain subtle sauvage character that
leads to bigger and more robust flavors blessed with ample concentration
and intensity on the masculine and moderately rustic finish. Worth a look.
89-91 Stephen Tanzer - International Wine Cellar, March/April 2008 Good bright, dark red. Discreet red fruits on the reticent nose. Then sweet, juicy and minerally, with very good clarity and cut. A bit like the Roncieres in its vibrancy and aromatic character but less creamy and more minerally. A hint of raspberry liqueur emerged with aeration. Finishes with firm tannins and lingering perfume. |

Here the nose runs to much deeper register aromas of earthy black and violet fruit aromas with a touch of mushroom with richer, gamier and more muscular flavors that are clearly more masculine in basic character as well as less accessible and tighter. There is good overall concentration and a precise, velvety, sweet finish that displays the barest hint of warmth. | |||

A more reserved nose of wild red fruit includes raspberry and cherry together with touches of earth, spice and an interesting stony note that complements the more obviously mineral-inflected flavors that are delicious yet serious, all wrapped in a textured and long finish supported by very fine tannins. This is beautifully balanced and should age very well. | |||

stylish middle weight flavors that are supple yet detailed on the
impeccably well-balanced and persistent finish. A wine of harmony of
finesse. 87-90 Stephen Tanzer - International Wine Cellar, March/April 2008 Bright red-ruby. Slightly liqueur-like aromas of cassis and blueberry. Then juicy and pungent in the mouth, with lovely crisp acidity and flinty minerality leavening the wine's very ripe fruit flavors. Still, this comes across as a rather southern style of wine for this cellar. Finishes with chewy, slightly roughtannins. |

to this point with notes of game, smoke, damp earth, red and blue berry
fruit and touches of underbrush and a trace of blackberry liqueur that
complements well the wonderfully layered, concentrated and palate staining
flavors blessed with excellent richness and plenty of extract on the
lingering and mouth coating finish. As always, this is terrific though for
the first time in a long time, it is not obviously superior to the
Pruliers though it’s finer. 91-93 Neil Martin - Wine Archive, erobertparker.com, Feb 05 2009 A superb NSG even though at the moment it is a little muffled on the nose with a touch of peony coming through. The palate is very cohesive with ripe red cherries, strawberry and a touch of raspberry. Velvety smooth tannins, quite generous compared to others, with more refinement. Very fine. |

delicious, long and balanced finish. As it always is, this is brimming
with buckets of old vine sap. A wine of finesse
91-93 90-93 Stephen Tanzer - International Wine Cellar, March/April 2008 Good ruby-red. Medicinal dark raspberry and stony minerality dominate the nose. Very ripe and complex, with a deep, solid core of chewy, sappy sweet berries, stone and spices. This boasts the pungent freshness of the vintage's best examples, not to mention impressive finesse.

sauvage in character with much more deeply pitched earthy and gamy dark
berry fruit aromas that precede the rich, sweet and vibrant flavors that
culminate with good detail and a focused finish that exudes controlled
power. This possesses excellent potential and this is a bit finer than it
usually is with dense but fine tannins and a touch of backend wood. One
rarely hears finesse and Vaucrains in the same sentence but this is one
such exception. |

| Die Weine von Régis Forey zählen zu den letzten wirklichen Geheimtipps in Burgund, phantastische alte Weingärten in Spitzenlagen und noch immer unglaublich günstig. Normalerweise ist der Stil hier eher straff und auf eine langsame Entwicklung angelegt wo selbst einfache Villages-Lagen zehn Jahre brauchen können. 2009 hat Régis Forey aber unglaublich kraftvolle und für ihn untypisch saftige und dennoch frische Weine geerntet, die zu den opulentesten des Jahrgangs zählen. Allen Meadows vergleicht sie als „fresher version of 1999“, was das Trinkvergnügen nicht beeinträchtigen dürfte. | |||

round yet precise and beautifully focused medium-bodied flavors that are
supported by fine tannins on the linear finish where a touch of wood
surfaces. 88-91 Stephen Tanzer - International Wine Cellar, March/April 2010 Good medium red. Fruity aromas of cherry and redcurrant complicated by menthol, flowers and bitter chocolate. The palate offers enticing perfume but seems cooler and less ripe than that of the Morey premier cru, offering berries, chocolate, herbs and menthol. More linear and less evolved today. With moderate mid-palate density, this is showing its tannins. |

from a tiny .1 ha parcel of vines planted in 1933). Here the nose is less
elegant but more complex with a broader range of nuances that include a
subtle animale hint to the warm earth and red fruit nose that complements
the rich, round and mouth coating flavors that possess good mid-palate
density and the support of firmer tannins on the ripe, lingering and sappy
finish. Classy juice. 89-92 Stephen Tanzer - International Wine Cellar, March/April 2010 Deep red-ruby. Dark raspberry, strawberry and smoky oak on the reticent nose. Large-scaled, sappy and powerful, with serious depth and a saline suggestion of soil to the concentrated dark fruit flavors. Has the chewy middle to support its big, ripe tannins, which reach the front teeth but do not come off as dry. Long on the aftertaste. |

(from
10 separate parcels of vines, most of which are located near Clos de
Vougeot). Noticeable reduction also renders the nose difficult to evaluate
though the fresh and quite cool middle weight flavors possess good
definition if not quite the same mid-palate concentration. 86-89 Stephen Tanzer - International Wine Cellar, March/April 2010 Good deep red. Medicinal dark fruits and licorice on the nose. Sappier and more intense than the Morey, with fresh flavors of blackberry and spicy oak. Finishes a bit youthfully severe, with a firm tannic structure. |

A
mildly oaky veneer does not hide the ripe and extremely earthy red and
blue fruit nose that leads to rich, serious and voluminous flavors that
possess excellent mid-palate concentration and power as well as a driving,
rustic and rather toasty finish. This will require ample cellar time to
arrive at its peak. 90-93 Stephen Tanzer - International Wine Cellar, March/April 2010 Good full ruby-red. Closed, youthfully medicinal nose combines black cherry, cassis, herbs, licorice and spicy oak. Big, sweet and pliant for 2008 Clos Vougeot but still in a brooding, dark style and in need of further elevage At once inky and ripe, offering impressive density, structure and lift. Spreads out nicely on the back end, finishing with dusty tannins that reach the teeth. |

Eine der renommiertesten Domainen der Côte
de Nuits mit beeindruckenden Lagen in Vougeot und Vosne-Romanée die ich
(wie einige andere auch) viele Jahre mit Interesse verfolgt habe. Aber
erst mit einer neuen Generation bot sich mit viel Geduld und schier
endlosem Warten erstmals die Möglichkeit hier einen Fuß in die
Kellertür zu bekommen. So beeindruckend die Lagen dieser Domaine sind,
mit einer Ausnahme gibt es von allen Crus jeweils deutlich weniger als ein
ha! |

| 2009 Bourgogne | 13,75 | 16,50 | |
| 86-88 Burghound.com, Jan 2011 A very fresh and expressive nose of red and black pinot fruit is nuanced by a discreet earthiness that continues onto the fleshy, delicious and surprisingly fine flavors that are really quite lovely for this level. Worth strong consideration and this could be enjoyed almost immediately. | |||
| 2009 Vosne-Romanée | 36,00 | ||
| 88-90 Burghound.com, Jan 2011 (this has some young vines 1ers added to a blend of Maizières and Les Vigneux). Here the nose isn’t quite as pretty but it’s much spicier with red currant and plum aromas that blend gracefully into the supple and round medium-bodied flavors that manage to retain a fine sense of underlying detail on the intense and focused finish. This possesses a relatively sophisticated mouth feel for a villages. | |||
| 2009 Vougeot 1er Cru Les Petits Vougeots | 45,00 | ||
| 89-91 Burghound.com, Jan 2011 A lightly spiced and distinctly earthy nose of primary dark berry fruit aromas is followed by fleshy and impressively intense middle weight flavors that possess plenty of dry extract that buffers well the otherwise firm tannins on the persistent finish. This is not overly complex though there is enough material and development potential that it may eventually possess more. | |||
| 2009 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Suchots | 69,00 | ||
| 90-93 Burghound.com, Jan 2011 A highly complex and very Vosne nose features moderate wood influence along with abundant spice notes on the red currant, plum and black cherry fruit and violet suffused aromas that are very much in keeping with the rich, seductive and velvety-textured flavors. This is quite suave but there is fine definition, focus and excellent length. | |||
| 2009 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Beaux-Monts | 69,00 | ||
| 91-93 Burghound.com, Jan 2011 This too is very Vosne in basic character with mild wood influence as well on the wonderfully spicy, cooler and more elegant blue and black berry fruit aromas cut with plenty of mineral influence that carries over to the rich, intense and vibrant middle weight flavors that are given shape and firmness by the fine tannins, all wrapped in a long finish that displays an abundance of underlying tension. | |||
| 2009 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Malconsorts | |||
| 2009 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru | 108,00 | ||
| 91-94 Burghound.com, Jan 2011 (from two separate parcels, one to the left of the Château and another situated to the right by the Méo-Camuzet vines). A moderately floral nose speaks of wood spice, pungent earth and freshly crushed red currant aromas that precede the big-bodied and powerful flavors that possess real verve on the well-defined, intense and balanced finish. This is relatively fine for a classic Clos de Vougeot and there is less youthful austerity than is typical. | |||
| 2009 Romanée St.-Vivant Grand Cru | 295,00 | ||
| 94-96 Burghound.com, Jan 2011 This also sports moderate wood influence on the intensely floral and kaleidoscopically spicy nose of blue berry and black cherry aromas that introduce rich, intense and naturally sweet middle weight flavors that are lacy, pure and almost delicate before culminating in a suave, explosive and magnificently long finish. This is just terrific and the balance is impeccable. | |||
| 2009 Richebourg Grand Cru | |||
| 2008 Bourgogne | 14,50 | ||
| 84-86 Burghound.com, Jan 2010 A very fruity, fresh and attractive nose of red berries that is in keeping with the largely fruit-driven character of the pretty and supple flavors that possess reasonably good depth and more refined tannins than are typically found at this level. | |||
| 2008 Vosne-Romanée | 35,00 | ||
| 87-89 Burghound.com, Jan 2010 (this has some young vines 1ers added to a blend of Maizières and Les Vigneux). Like the Chambolle expressing its origins, this is a picture-perfect Vosne with a broad range of spice elements suffusing the pretty mix of red and blue pinot fruit aromas where the spices continue onto the seductive, pure and solidly detailed middle weight flavors that culminate in a sappy and delicious finish. There is a hint of dryness on the finish though it appears to be more due to the considerable gas than unripe or astringent tannins. In sum, this is a villages of finesse. | |||
| 2008 Petit-Vougeot 1er Cru | 45,00 | ||
| 89-91 Burghound.com, Jan 2010 A more deeply pitched, somber and serious nose of dark berry fruit and warm earth notes where the latter element transfers to the concentrated and more obviously structured medium-bodied flavors that possess fine complexity if moderate rusticity on the attractively persistent finish. Good if not special quality. | |||
| Domaine Jean Grivot | |||
| Als Ètienne Grivot die Domaine Mitte der 80er Jahre übernahm, mußte er viel Kritik für seine Vinifikation nach den Methoden von Guy Accad einstecken. Mittlerweile hat er dessen Rezepte zur Regeneration der Böden, der Rebarbeit, der kalten Maischung etc. an seine eigenen Vorstellungen angepaßt und erntet damit uneingeschränkte Bewunderung. Charakteristisch für Grivot ist die nahezu puristische Betonung der Frucht weitgehend ohne die Verwendung neuer Barriques. Die Absenz von Holzaromen läßt die Weine von Ètienne Grivot für ungeübte Verkoster oft streng und abweisend erscheinen, sie sind aber immer von einer beeindruckenden Klarheit und Tiefe. | |||
