5 | Wine | Burgundy, 2009

"With a somewhat fresher and very red pinot-infused nose that is followed by detailed, intense and firm medium-bodied flavors that possess good energy and punch on the mouth coating and somewhat linear finish. I like this as it has good development potential as well as a bit more mid-palate flesh though it is not a classic young Beaune as the mouth feel is somewhat stern."

"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."

"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."

"Adark, powerful wine laced with dark fruit, licorice, spices, earthiness and a vein of oak. Some elements of rusticity peek through, but this remains a compelling, intense wine with plenty of potential to improve in bottle." 88-90 pts.

"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.

"Bernard Maume’s Côtesde Nuits Village rouge balances concentration with brightness,juicy fruit with earthy depths, and focused power with subtle grace."

"Reticent nose hints at redcurrant, cherry, smoke, menthol and mocha. Juicy, fine-grained and concentrated; in an essentially tender style but with very good definition and lift. Lovely perfume and energy for 2009. Really resounds on the back end, with fine tannins dusting the entire palate." 90-93 pts, reviewed by Stephen Tanzer.
