This is a beautiful set of wines from Bruno Clair. Every wine I tasted with Clair's longtime oenologist Philippe Brun was gorgeous from top to bottom. While the top 2009s are certainly superb, the real jewels here are the village level wines which appear to be among the great success stories of the 2009 vintage. I tasted all of the wines from barrel, except the Marsannay and Marsannay Les Vaudanelles, both of which were bottled before the 2010 harvest. In 2009 Clair began harvesting on September 15 and ended on the 23rd. I also tasted a handful of 2008s, from a much later harvest that stretched into October. The handful of wines I tasted from that vintage are equally impressive, and equally worth your time.

Clair, who started picking pinot noir on the late side (September 14), describes 2009 as "a very generous year, easy to vinify, with round, rich tannins." He ranks the vintage with past favorites like 2002 and 1990. Only the yields in Chambolle-Musigny, where his vines are not quite 20 years old, are particularly high, he told me-this despite the fact that he did a green harvest in these vines. Compared to the 2009s, the 2008s are vins de garde, he went on, and they will probably shut down in bottle. (Vineyard Brands, Birmingham, AL) Other wines tasted: Chambolle-Musigny Les Veroilles, Morey-Saint-Denis en La Rue de Vergy.
