Founded in 2007, the micro-négociant Olivier Bernstein quickly became one of the rising stars of Burgundy, gaining recognition for his exceptional range of old-vine reds from seven Grands Crus and three Premiers Crus in the Côte de Nuits. Bernstein’s meticulous approach to winemaking, combined with his selection of top-quality fruit, has earned him critical acclaim.
The 2009 release of Bernstein’s Clos de la Roche Grand Cru is a striking wine, displaying the rich fruit and complexity typical of this celebrated vineyard. The nose is full of ripe red berries, with hints of violet and a touch of earthiness. On the palate, it’s both powerful and elegant, with well-integrated tannins and a long, mineral-driven finish. A wine that is drinking beautifully now but with the capacity for further development.

Vinous
Good bright, full red. Medicinal dark cherry, licorice, flowers and brown spices on the lively nose. Shows the enticing sweetness of the year but with tangy freshness and terrific breadth to its black cherry, dark raspberry and bitter chocolate flavors. Very good inner-mouth energy gives this wine excellent definition. Finishes long and spicy, with broad, ripe tannins. Bernstein believes that the tannins will swallow the wine's torrefaction element with bottle aging.Stephen Tanzer1st March 2012
