30 year old vines, on Gevrey side of Morey, just above Mazoyeres. Since moving to biodynamic, these vines have been helped a lot. In the past the wine was less harmonious. This was the last parcel to be picked in 2009.
Quite reductive, this, but still perfumed with a bit of air. Fleshy, delicate, plenty happening, fine, fine tannins, mineral, long. (CW 05/11/10)
Muscular, weighty, earthy, wild mushrooms, leather. Lot more power. v good+ tick. (JG 05/11/10)

Allen Meadows
(from 30+ year old vines). A very high-toned and cool nose of cranberry and raspberry notes juxtaposed against earth and underbrush nuances that also continue onto the rich and relatively full-bodied flavors that possess fine volume and excellent weight, intensity and length. This brims with dry extract that confers a velvety texture to the sappy finish. Good stuff here. Drink 2017+. 90-93 points
