Notes:

This is also very fresh and bright with pure aromas of ripe red currant,warm earth, violets and subtle spice hints that are in keeping with theenergetic, intense and admirably rich full-bodied flavors that envelope thepalate with velvety sap on the beautifully balanced and impressivelypersistent finish. I very much like the sense of underlying tensionbecause despite this being a big wine with plenty of concentration, thebalance is impeccable and there is absolutely nothing ponderous about thiscomplete effort that is well-structured but not so much so that it is inthe "buy and forget" category. In short, buy it. Burghound 92-95 Sweet Spot Outstanding!

Note: the vine ages in this 5+ ha vineyard run from 18 to 75+ years of age. The2009 Clos des Epeneaux is segregated into several different cuves based onvineyard location and will then be blended in varying proportions. Thetasting note that follows is based upon a sample that should reasonablyresemble the final blend

Producer note: Benjamin Leroux described the 2009 vintage as a "relatively easy onebecause the growing season wasn't difficult and the harvest produced fruitthat was ripe, clean and balanced. We began picking on the 12th ofSeptember and the vinification was straightforward. I like the '09 redsbecause unlike some of the whites that suffer from a bit of surmaturit,they are quite pure and reflect well the underlying terroir." Notethat reviews for Leroux's ngociant operation are included below.
