"Ripe, featuring pineapple, apricot and quince paste aromas and flavors, turning rich and expansive midpalate. Pulls itself together nicely by the finish, with honey and citrus notes and fresh acidity. Drink now through 2012. 30 cases imported." 90 Points - Wine Spectator
"Somewhat surprisingly, this is primary, indeed backward to the point of still displaying noticeable fermentation aromas that presently dominate the nose and it's clear that this needs a good racking. The rich, full and powerful flavors however possess excellent concentration and ample dry extract on the enveloping and tautly muscled finish. This doesn't have the finesse of the range of top Meursault 1ers but it is well balanced and impressively long. Drink 2012+" (Tasted 7/01/08) 89-92 Points - Allen Meadows - Burghound
VINTAGE NOTES:
"Didier Darviot reported that he "began the harvest on September 23rd with the whites as maturities were climbing very fast. We waited a few days before attacking the reds as I wanted to be sure that we had adequate phenolic ripeness. There was some rot and a thorough triage was very important, particularly because there was some interior rot as well and thus you had to be very careful as it was hard to spot. I did a slightly lighter vinification, in particular with fewer punch downs but otherwise, I have treated the wines the same as always. The reds will be bottled in March or April, probably without fining or filtration." -Winemaker
DOMAINE:
"The domaine is located in Monthelie, where Didier and Genevieve Darviot maintain an impeccable and extremely cold cellar. While vineyards and viticulture have been a primary focus of their families for generations, it was not until 1989 that this estate produced its first wines under the Darviot-Perrin label. Working with ideally situated vineyards with an average vine age in excess of 50 years, Didierâs first priority is producing small yields of pristine fruit with a determined non-interventionist strategy."
"Once in the cellar, the wines evolve at a glacial pace, with typically long malos and minimal batonnage or rackings. Usually wines emerge from the cellar a full year after most other producers have released a given vintage. The resulting wines are tightly-coiled, energetic and expressive of their privileged terroirs, and while charming and lively from the start will also reward long keeping in a cool cellar. These are reference-point wines that perfectly exemplify why Burgundian wine from prime terroirs is a treasure." -Importer
