The 2009 Morey St. Denis Aux Charmes is powerful, intense and clenched. Dark fruit, licorice and violets are buttressed by firm tannins in this inward wine. Still, there is enough inner juiciness to suggest all this needs is time in bottle. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2029. 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.
