WTN - Vougeraie, Cote de Beaune, Les Pierres Blanches, 2009

This is just what I would like to get from all young Burgundy reds. Specifically, I get aromas of suave red fruit with a mineral streak, reminiscent of gunpowder, a funky overlay as well, and, finally, a just-so slightly roasted character in keeping with the warm vintage, And a tasty, savory fruit and soft tannin combo on the palate, where there's a lightly green herbal streak, albeit the crunchy fruit complements it quite well, and the saline finish is especially delicious. Will it age? Probably, but this is so good right now - so much exactly what I like, right now - that I might not bother.

The local importer says the warm vintages brought out something special from this relatively cool site and I totally agree.

some respected folks who say 2009 is a vintage to look for marginally ripening vineyards/communes
