The 2009 Vosne-Romanee Vieilles Vignes is a sweet, sensual wine graced with exquisite depth in its spiced dark red fruit. Mineral notes add to a sense of thrust as the wine works its way through to the intense, textured finish. Anticipated maturity: 2019-2029. Bernard Dugat farms 10 hectares of vineyards, 6.5 of which he and his family own outright. The Dugat-Py wines are breathtaking for their richness and depth. Despite their sheer concentration, the wines retain tons of vineyard and vintage character. These are some of the most viscerally thrilling, exciting wines I tasted on my recent trip through Burgundy. The only 2009 I wasn’t able to taste was the Pommard, which had been bottled just prior to my visit. Importer: The Sorting Table, LLC, 1700 Second Street Suite 380 Napa, CA 94559 ; tel: 707-603-1466
(100% vendange entier Dark red. Soil-driven aromas of smoky minerality and spices. Sweeter and lusher than the Pommard but not as chocolatey or tannic. Spicy and harmonious in the middle palate; in a rounder style but turns a bit tough on the back.
100% whole grapes, 100% new oak. Quarter de Nuits et Violets, 80-year-old vines. Quite perfumed without as much of traditional Vosne energy as in some others’ versions. Lots of muscle and depth with considerable structure. More severe on the finish than most. Some silkiness in the middle then a tough finish. Very ambitious. (JR)
