I bought a mixed case a few years back through a friend in the business. W e were doing a "Duckfest" with glazed duck wings, confit duck legs and gril led duck breast so I thought I would open these and enjoy.
2009 Nuits St Georges 1er Cru Aux Thorey-Darker than the other two showing black fruits and cassis on the nose. Deep, ripe flavors with nice balance. Fresh and clean on the finish with still a nice silky grip. "B++"2009 Beaune 1er Perrieres-Medium red in the glass. Mineral notes on the no se with red fruits and berries. Could use a little more time but drinking well showing plenty of pure fruit flavor without being cloying. "B+"
2009 Volnay 1er Champans-Lighter in the glass jus slightly darker than a Ro se. Expressive floral nose with Asian spices and red dirt minerality. Smoo th and silky on the palate with a bit more acid than the other two but well balanced by the ripe fruit with red fruits, cherries and spice. The class of the lot for sure. "A"I bought these all for about $50each in a mixed lot...The Volnay was a litt le higher and the other two were a little lower for a $50 average.
