Ranked #3 of 46 2009 Pinot Noir from Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru
97/100

Huon Hooke
A deep, mysterious wine, very much a grand cru Burgundy, savoury elements of many guises trumping primary fruit. Freshly-turned earth, undergrowth, dried mushrooms, dried-blood, ironstone and ferrous notes. Very complex. The wine is full-bodied and dense, fleshy and long-lasting. Power and concentration without heaviness. Wonderful.

93-95 Points Robert Parker
The 2009 Charmes-Chambertin is one of the most vibrant Charmes of the vintage. Effortless layers of fragrant fruit emerge from this intense, elegant Burgundy. This shows tons of potential, not to mention considerable pedigree. Sweet, silky tannins round out the utterly impeccable finish. The Charmes is made from two estate-owned parcels of true Charmes on the northern portion of the vineyard where Pinot fin is especially prevalent. It is the highlight among these 2009s and shows the potential Remoissenet is capable of achieving with their top wines. Anticipated maturity: 2019-2039. Drink 2019 - 2039.
