The 2009 Morey St. Denis en la Rue de Vergy presents gorgeous delineation in its vibrant, perfumed fruit. Dark cherries, spices, licorice and white flowers are some of the nuances that take shape in the glass in this refined, subtle Morey. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2024.
Virgile Lignier’s 2009s show notable intensity and ripeness, but also preserve quite a bit of freshness through the use of whole clusters, which reach as much as 100% in two wines. The Bourgogne and Chambolle were bottled in December 2010. I tasted all of the other wines from tank. Bottling was scheduled for the end of March 2011. Readers will find notes on a handful of 2008s on www.erobertparker.com.
