weight and power as well as a bit more complexity to the mineral-driven and impeccably well-balanced finish that is both explosive and palate staining

Lucien Le Moine, Bonnes Mares Vintage:2016 the 2009 Saint-Pierre displays maturing(from both Chambolle and Morey). Ripe aromas include those of plum, dark cherry, warm earth and a whisper of the sauvage. The supple, delicious and dense big bodied flavors flash enormous power and drive that really builds from the mid palate to the explosively long and sappy finish where the only nit is a hint of warmth. Note that this is very firmly structured and in need of at least a decade of keeping and should reward almost two.
