Olivier Bernstein is the highly successful micro-négociant who only started making wines in Burgundy in 2007. He focuses on making tiny quantities of the highest quality wines, including seven different Grand Crus. This is his Charmes-Chambertin from the outstanding 2009 vintage, a year that produced beautifully structured wines, with rich, luscious fruit.
92 Vinous
Good deep, bright red. Deep aromas and flavors of black- and redcurrant, smoked meat and sexy oak spices; faintly liqueur-like. Very rich and ripe, but with good verve for its thickness. Finishes long and smooth, with suave, fine-grained tannins. In 2009, the vintage is more important than the cru, noted Olivier Bernstein, who was not sure that these wines would ever really shut down in bottle. Put it like this: If I'm in the kitchen cooking, I would normally say 'I'm in the mood for a Bonnes-Mares, or a Mazi,' but with this vintage I'd be more likely to say 'I'm in the mood for a 2009.'

Deep crimson, very heady and charming nose already. This works very well for their style. Lovely sweetness plus their firm structure makes for an impressive bottle, even if it may open up quite early. (JR)Jancis Robinson28th October 2010
