Tasting notes
The 2009 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux Brûlées from Méo-Camuzet is superb, offering up an alluring nose of sweet black fruit, exotic spices, rich soil and subtle espresso roast. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, ample and expansive, with grand cru depth and dimension, its fine-grained tannins entirely enveloped in luscious dark fruit, its acids cool and controlled. The Aux Brûlées is routinely one of Jean-Nicolas Méo's finest wines, and the 2009 vintage is no exception.

Bright, dark red. Vibrant, perfumed aromas and flavors of blackberry, black raspberry, minerals and violet; I would have been hard-pressed to identify this as a 2009. Chewy, dry and classic, showing outstanding concentration and density of texture. Quite compact and austere for 2009 but offers exciting potential. The tannins build on the palate-staining finish.
The 2009 Vosne-Romanée Les Brûlées shows off gorgeous intensity and power in its dark cherries, plums and spices. It is a marvelously complete, harmonious wine that impresses for its depth. This powerful, massive wine desperately needs more bottle age. Méo's parcel sits next to Richebourg.
Very dark crimson. Burnt fruit edge to this. The oak is a bit obvious. Lots of concentration but not much subtlety. Edgy and jagged. (JR)
