Good medium red with faint amber at the rim. Quite ripe on the nose if considerably less expressive than the 2010, offering scents of raspberry, redcurrant, rose petal, cedar and tobacco. Then wonderfully fleshy and opulent in the mouth, with a texture like liquid velvet. Delivers a very sexy restrained sweetness to its sappy flavors of cherry, red berries, spices and red licorice. Finishes with totally ripe, substantial, spreading tannins and outstanding persistence. This beautifully balanced, surprisingly elegant wine does not lose any of its thickness on the back end. Erwan Faiveley told me that his family loves to open this wine at special dinners, eschewing decanting and then watching it explode with some oxygenation. It can certainly be paired today with strongly flavored meat dishes. The ’09 Clos des Cortons has been a personal favorite of mine since the first time I tasted it from barrel. (13.55% alcohol; 3.46 pH; 3.35 g/| acidity; Faiveley generally made the maximum allowable yields in 2009 but a moderate 37 hectoliters per hectare in the Clos des Cortons, which Erwan Faiveley described as “our star of the vintage”)
Regularly described as being the grape varietal responsible for producing the world's most romantic wines, Pinot Noir has long been associated with elegance and a broad range of flavors The name means 'black pine' in French, and this is due to the fact that the fruit of this particular varietal is especially dark in color, and hangs in a conical shape, like that of a pine cone. Despite being grown today in almost every wine producing country, Pinot Noir is a notoriously difficult grape variety to cultivate. This is because it is especially susceptible to various forms of mold and mildew, and thrives best in steady, cooler climates. However, the quality of the fruit has ensured that wineries and vintners have persevered with the varietal, and new technologies and methods have overcome many of the problems it presents. Alongside this, the wide popularity and enthusiasm for this grape has ensured it will remain a firm favorite amongst wine drinkers for many years to come.

The beautifully and unforgettable French region of Cote De Beaune has been revered throughout the centuries, and recognized as one of the key producer's of the world's finest white wines. The region is highly respected as an excellent producer of Chardonnay wines, and the Chardonnay grapes which grow there, on the southern slopes of the Cote d'Or, are packed full of the unique and powerful characteristics of this very special terroir. Interestingly, Cote De Beaune produces more red wine than white wine, despite its white wines being so famous. The red wines of Cote De Beaune are mainly made from Pinot Noir, but are relatively very light and fruity in their character, perfect for sipping on a warm, sunny day alongside a wide range of foods.

Enticing aromas of black cherry and black currant introduce this silky red. As the fruit unfolds, smoke, spice and mineral elements emerge, persisting through the long aftertaste. This is harmonious and suave, with the class and complexity worthy of its status as a grand cru. So fleshy, the tannins are buried now. Best from 2014 through 2030. 300 cases imported.

Wine Advocate
The 2009 Corton Grand Cru Clos des Cortons Faiveley is really blossoming with a decade of bottle age, offering up expressive aromas of sweet red cherries, forest floor, cassis, espresso roast, dark chocolate and grilled meats, framed by a deft touch of cedary new oak. Full-bodied, velvety and enveloping, it's textural and complete, with lively acids and a pure, precise finish. Of all the wines in this tasting, the 2009 is the most head-turning and immediate at this stage.

Burghound
A distinctly spicy nose of admirably fresh plum, earth and mocha suffused aromas is ripe yet stops short of being surmature. The exceptionally rich and concentrated big-bodied flavors possess an abundance of dry extract that imparts a suave and seductive texture to the mildly austere, balanced and hugely long finish that seems only to become firmer as it sits on the palate. Note that this robust effort will definitely not be an early drinker as the supporting structure is markedly prominent without being rustic.
Winery Notes
Ruby red in colour with clear purple reflections. The nose is powerful, concentrated and exudes notes of black cherry and spice. The palate is rich and smooth with good energy and concentration. The finish is elegant. An excellent wine for cellar ageing.
Serve with: Seared foie gras with armagnac, game, quail, full-flavoured cheeses such as Cîteaux or Reblochon.
