Domaine Clusel-Roch

According to Brigitte Clusel-Roch, "what makes 2010 a special year was the perfect phenolic maturity of the grapes. There were no overripe berries, the acidity was fresh, and the fruit was extremely clean. There was hardly any need for sorting at harvest." She believes that while her own 2009s have a lot of tannins, "they're woven into the fruit so they don't seem extreme. By analysis 2009 is a very tannic vintage, but they don't seem like hard or over-structured wines when you taste them." She thinks that the best plan is to start drinking the 2009s after the '10s, "which are fragrant and very pretty, while the '09s have a richer character and can probably handle longer cellaring."
