A rounded wine, although still young. It has ripe fruit, creamed apples and fresh acidity. The wood flavors give an extra smoothness as well as a more complex long-lasting finish.

A soft wine, favoring warm fruit, pear and peach flavors, the minerality coming later. The wine is crisp and fresh, with an intensity of acidity rare in 2009. That suggests it will age, although it is already fruity and refreshing.

The purity of fruit is the most striking aspect of this wine. While it is relatively light in texture, it revels in its fresh red-fruited character that gives an impressive intensity. With balanced touches of tannin and acidity, the wine should age well.

A very perfumed ripe wine. The fruit flavors range from mango through peach to a taut citric finish. With just a hint of wood, this is a bright and fruity wine, delicious to drink now.

In the 2009 vintage, the wines of the Hautes-Côtes have an extra richness and warmth. This wine has flavors of cherries, raspberries that give fine acidity, as well as fruitiness. The tannins are already well integrated, finishing a wine that is deliciously juicy.

A vin de pays from the hinterland of Burgundy. It is light and layered with intense red cherry acidity to give a fresh wine that can be drunk now.
