Manuel Olivier 2008 Les Damaudes Pinot Noir (Vosne-Romanée)

Dark colored wine, which translates into richness and flavors of full-bodied damsons and plum fruits, with finely judged tannins and wood. Natural power, with concentration and final acidity to give just the right lift.

Manuel Olivier 2008 Premier Cru Chardonnay (Meursault)
- Cellar Selection

Superripe fruit gives the wine weight and richness, toast and peach and pineapple fruits. Old vines give the concentration and opulent fruit. Worth aging 2–3 years.

Manuel Olivier 2007 Pinot Noir (Gevrey-Chambertin)
- Editors' Choice
- $50
A rich wine that shows the power of Gevrey, even in a lesser vintage. The fruit fills the glass with aromas of red plums, sweet raspberries and cranberry juice. There is spice here along with juicy fresh acidity. It is worth aging 3–4 years, but is delicious now.

Manuel Olivier 2008 Pinot Noir (Gevrey-Chambertin)
- Cellar Selection
- $39
Dark colored and powerful, this is a great expression of the more massive side of Gevrey Chambertin. The wine is dense, dark, with black plum and fig flavors, leavened with attractive juicy acidity. Tannins thread through the acidity. Age for 2–3 years.

Manuel Olivier 2008 Pinot Noir (Chambolle-Musigny)
- $29
A very dense wine, packed with red fruits, showing ripe concentration. There is an underlying toast and spice character to balance the sweet fruit. The weight is there now, the richness will come later.

Manuel Olivier 2008 Chardonnay (Meursault)
- $29
Full, rich and fat, this is classic, ripe yellow fruit-flavored Meursault with good acidity. A finely balanced, wood-aged wine with good concentration from the lees stirring during fermentation.

Manuel Olivier 2008 Pinot Noir (Nuits-St.-Georges)
- $39
There is a good amount of the square, chunky Nuits Saint-Georges feel to this wine. Manuel Olivier is based in the town, so should know his stuff, and has blended a solid, firm wine, with a dark edge of tannins, balanced by acid freshness.
— R.V.

Manuel Olivier 2008 Pinot Noir (Morey-Saint-Denis)
- $29
Rich and smooth, packed with strawberry and black berry flavors. It has weight as well, coming from a fine layer of wood, spice and solid tannins. There is great acidity, balancing well with the firm structure. For medium-term aging.
