"The 2009 Gravains from the Camus family is a small step up from the two old vine villages bottlings, as it will probably deliver a bit more refined complexity at its apogee. The bouquet jumps from the glass in a superb mĂŠlange of black cherries, pomegranate, lovely minerality, incipient notes of grilled meat, woodsmoke, dark chocolate and cedar. On the palate the wine is deep, full and nicely reserved, with lovely complexity, fine-grained tannins, good mid-palate depth and a long, focused and classy finish. A fine, fine bottle in the making."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
2009 in Burgundy was warm and sunny, producing ripe, rich and generous reds of hedonistic charm and supple tannins; the whites are opulent but can lack acidity, making them best enjoyed relatively young.
A thin-skinned, terroir-sensitive red producing perfumed, silky and elegant wines of red-berry fruit and earthy complexity. It reaches its apogee in Burgundy.
