"Comment: Outstanding - A distinctly riper nose of spiced plum, wet stone, warm earth and coffee/mocha aromas that are cut with a hint of the sauvage that is also picked up by the impressively concentrated and opulent flavors that completely bathe the palate in dry extract that buffers the very firm and hugely long finish. This is a striking effort." ...

"The 2009 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru is a totally seamless, opulent wine that caresses the palate with layers of intense fruit. Full-bodied and rich to the finish, the 1er Cru is flat-out beautiful. This authoritative Burgundy will require patience, but it is striking in is harmony. In 2009 the 1er Cru is made from parcels in Les Corbeaux and Les Perrieres, as Dugat made the decision to vinify and age the Fontenys separately in this vintage. Anticipated maturity: 2024-2039."
