"Like a mountain stream, this is pure and bracing. Lemon and green apple flavors, joined by accents of thyme and mineral, mingle as this resonates through the finish."

"Aromas of apple, lime and ginger. A step up in intensity and minerality from the premier crus; quite ripe and pliant but rather unforthcoming. Best today on the subtle, rising whiplash of a finish, which coats the palate with powdered stone. Very long and gripping wine: am I underestimating it today?"-Stephen Tanzer

"This is exotic, with a touch of orange cream, along with vanilla and brioche toast flavors. Just lacks a little staying power on the finish."

"Aromas of menthol, crushed stone and toasted baguette. At once thick and penetrating, with lovely acidity accentuating the wine's intensity. Not a particularly fruity style but finishes dense, dusty and quite long. A very impressive village wine." -Stephen Tanzer

"Expressive aromas of dark fruits, coffee and chocolate. Sweet, very ripe and pliant, with enticing inner-mouth aromatic character. Finishes with ripe tannins and lingering sweetness. This will make a good restaurant wine but should also last well. This was my favorite of the Jadot village wines, although the Nuits-Saint-Georges should turn out well, especially if Lardiere declassifies some premier cru juice into it, as he expects to do."-Stephen Tanzer.

"The 2009 Bourgogne is a beautiful, harmonious wine bursting with juicy red fruit. The soft, engaging personality makes this an excellent choice for drinking over the next few years."

"A flowery nose precedes a palate laced with wild red berries and spice. Medium weight, harmonious with silky tannins and good persistence. An elegant but affordable Red Burgundy that drinks well on release and for 2 to 3 years after."
