Notes:
Allen Meadows' Burghound, October 2010
(domain wine) An exceptionally elegant high-toned and strikingly layered nose of oyster shell, mineral reduction and perfumed cool green fruit is extremely seductive and serves as a fascinating introduction to the concentrated, serious and powerful yet refined flavors that ooze a fine minerality on the mouth coating and hugely long finish. This is blessed with buckets of sap that completely buffer the firm acid spine. This is a flat out great effort that is indisputably a "wow" wine. 96 points
Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, July/August 2009
(domain wine) Pale lemon-yellow color. Crushed stone, white pepper, mint, licorice, cumin, minerals and white flowers on the very ripe yet vibrant nose. Rich and broad on entry, then explosive in the middle palate, saturating the mouth without giving any impression of weight, thanks to vibrant floral and citrus flavors and penetrating acidity. A great grand cru with finishing flavors that expand to coat the palate and teeth. This seemed more tactile and voluminous after I spit it (okay, swallowed it). I don't recall a better vintage for this cuvee. 95 points
John Gilman's View from the Cellar, Nov/Dec 2009
The 2008 Côte de Bougerots is also superb, as it soars from the glass in a complex aromatic mélange of lime, apple, a touch of white cherry, chalky minerality and a topnote of apple blossoms. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, long and complex, with a rock solid core of fruit, impeccable balance and great length and grip on the racy and perfectly focused finish. Another tour de force. 94+ points
