Allen Meadows’ Burghound.com:

A perfumed and unusually cool nose in the context of the vintage is both elegance and complex red berry fruit-liqueur aromas that are liberally cut with wet stone and soft earth notes. There is good delineation to the middle weight flavors that possess firm tannins and plenty of punch as the palate impression of the dusty and mineral-inflected finish is linear and moderately austere. Despite the austerity, this is really quite classy. Note that I have shortened my estimated initial drinking window by a few years though be aware that this will still require at least 10 to 12 years to arrive at its peak. Rating 93/100. -Allen Meadows’ Burghound.com-

Robert Parker Wine Advocate:

The 2009 Corton-Les Perrieres is a rich, intense wine bursting with dark fruit. Some of the gravitas seems to have been achieved with a slight loss of verve. There is a slightly overripe quality to the fruit that sets the Perrieres apart from some of the other wines in the lineup. Meo says the vines were a bit stressed, even though the parcel was harvested earlier than some of the others. The Perrieres needed two additional days of fermentation to work through the sugars. Drink Date 2019-2034. Rating 91-93/100. -Antonio Galloni-

Vinous:

(this parcel of old vines was also purchased at the end of 2008) Good deep red. Ripe, wild aromas of raspberry, smoke and game; very Corton. Then sweeter and richer in the mouth, with more texture and sheer size. Really reverberates on the long, building finish. But this serious, structured wine will need six or seven years of patience. Rating 92-94/100. -Stephen Tanzer-
