Vintage 2010

THE 2010 BURGUNDY VINTAGE 

Compared with 2009, these figures represent a deficit of 25 percent in red and 16 percent in white.

It was a cold, drawn-out winter, some two degrees cooler than the average, though rainfall and sunshine were normal. There was one severe attack of frost on December 22nd, just before Christmas, which caused widespread damage on the upside of the main road from Beaune to Dijon. In many places the road is on highe...

Written Notes

Clos des Lambrays 2010 – I love the 2010 vintage and for me, this showed why. Powerful certainly, but it had a level of finesse and elegance that the others could not quite match. Meaty notes, nuts and a roasted earth character before a gorgeous sweet core emerged. Great length. A superb Burgundy, which both needs and deserves time. A cracker. 97.

Bright pale-medium red. Higher-pitched but more reticent on the nose than the 2012, showing a distinctly floral aspect as well as a redder fruit quality; more delicate and pristine. Wonderfully sexy and complex if somewhat youthfully tight in the mouth, conveying an ineffable silkiness of texture rather than the sheer plushness of the '12. Less dark in its fruit character as well, offering flavors of red raspberry, cherry, brown spices and underbrush. Wonderfully tactile and delineated; this really glistens on the palate and on the very long, refined aftertaste. Here the tannins are suaver than those of the 2012. More about finesse than power, but this wine will nonetheless need time to express itself more fully. An essence of terroir and a wine of great verve. (13.4% alcohol; 3.55 pH; 3.7 g/l acidity)

  • 94p

Much richer and more intense on the nose than the Morey-St-Denis. Pure bright fruit and just a hint of spice. Firm but smooth and complete. Lovely combination of elegance and effortless concentration.

  • 93p

Bright ruby. Bright red fruity nose, floral, delicate, detailed and nuanced. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, fresh, fruity, intense, layered, nuanced and detailed, superb length. Seems to be adding something invisible from the outset every time I retaste it. 96

  • 96p

Medium to medium-full colour. Rich, oaky nose. Plenty of depth and class. Fullish body. Rich and oaky and also tannic on the palate. Lovely fruit but a bit tight at present. The finish is very promising. Fine plus; perhaps better still.
