Clos du Cellier aux Moines 2007 Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Givry)

One of the many Burgundian vineyards first planted by monks, in this case in 1258, now run by the Devillard family. This is a beautiful, rounded wine, rich in tannins and ripe black plums, with a smooth, unctuous texture and ripeness. There is aging potential here—the dark core of tannins attest to that. Keep for 4–5 years. — R.V. (10/1/2009)

Clos du Cellier aux Moines 2008 Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Givry)

Price $32

On the lean side, this has a light acidity, closed red berry fruits and a dry core of tannins. It is firm and hard-edged at this young stage, the structure dominant. Give it 3–4 years to broaden out. — R.V. (12/31/2010)
