Tasting notes
The 2009 Nuits St. Georges Les Charmois flows across the palate with sweet red cherries, flowers and hard candy. It possesses striking inner perfume and a soft, sensual personality, all supported by silky tannins. I find lovely silkiness and delineation on the finish. The Charmois is pretty approachable today and should drink well for a number of years.

The Charmois is pretty approachable today and should drink well for a number of years. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2019. Etienne Grivot’s 2009s were some of the most exciting wines I tasted on my most recent trip to Burgundy. Importer: Diageo Chateau and Estate Wines Company, New York, NY; tel. (212) 419-1400
Medium red. Red raspberry and strawberry aromas complicated by earth, smoke and tobacco. Then drier and less showy than the Vosne villages , more closed today and showing less inner-mouth tension. A distinctly savory version of Nuits-Saint-Georges that's hard to taste at present. The rather strict finish shows dusty tannins.
The 2009 Nuits St. Georges Les Charmois shows terrific energy and focus in its dark red fruit. This is an unusually soft, refined Nuits with gorgeous depth and notable textural elegance. There is enough freshness to suggest the Charmois will drink well for a number of years.
