These are from 27-57 year old vines in the heart of the vineyard. Grapes are hand-harvested and fermented at low temperature in stainless steel then aged on some of its yeast lees.
Burghound on the 2009: 90/100---Drink 2014+ “A spicy and expressive nose of white pepper, citrus, high-toned floral and pear aromas gives way to rich, fresh and utterly delicious flavors that possess a rounded and even tender mouth feel, all wrapped in a saliva-inducing and saline finish of much better than average depth and length. Like the majority of these 09’s, this could easily be enjoyed now or held for a few years first”.
The Wine Advocate: 93/100. “The 2009 Vaillons bursts on the palate with layers of citrus, lime, jasmine and sea shells. It is an intensely pointed, energetic wine loaded with class and pedigree. The aromas and flavors blend together beautifully and lead to a multi-dimensional, inviting finish marked by clean, saline notes. This is a 2009 that could use another few years in bottle. Anticipated maturity 2012-24”.
Tanzer: 91/100 “Aromas of white peach and white flowers. Generous and fruity but more delicate than the Tete d'Or, with a subtle sweetness to the white peach and nectarine flavors. Nicely balanced wine, and not at all hot on the back end. Bernard Billaud noted that these 2009s have acidity in the 4 grams-per-liter range, but they come across as a bit softer”.
Tim Atkin MW scored the 2009 at 92 points. ”This Premier Cru is sweet and honeyed, with a Meursault-like texture and refreshing length and minerality. Now-5 years.”
