A very pretty, cool and airy nose of fresh red pinot fruit that is discreetly laced with wet stone aromas leads to energetic and beautifully detailed medium-bodied flavors that possess good persistence on the balanced and firm finish. This will need several years in the cellar before it will be approachable.

(vinified with one-third whole clusters and aged in 20% new oak): Palish red. Perfumed aromas of redcurrant, fresh herbs and mint. Sweet, round and nicely vinous, with moderate depth to the flavors of red fruits and spicy underbrush. Finishes with fine-grained tannins, firm structure and an impression of medicinal reserve.

The 2010 Beaune Les Sizies fleshes out beautifully on the mid-palate. It possesses attractive mid-palate pliancy and juiciness in a forward, floral style meant to be enjoyed on the early side. It is another delicious entry-level wine. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2018. Etienne de Montille describes 2010 as similar to 2002, but with less acidity. He adds that 2010 is a vintage where the end result was less apparent early on than years like 2006 and 2007, where the wines turned out pretty much as originally expected. According to de Montille, there isn’t a huge difference between the Cote de Beaune and Cote de Nuits. That may be true here, but in my view it is not the case in a broader context. De Montille tends to pick early, and his wines in the cellar also finish their malos fairly quickly, which is how things played out in 2010 as well. Most of the 2010s had been racked into steel at the time of my visit, except for the Corton Clos du Roi, Clos Vougeot, Vosne-Romanee Malconsorts, Vosne-Romanee Malconsorts Christiane, which I tasted from barrel. The harvest started on September 20 and ran through the 28th. Some wines were lightly chaptalized. De Montille planned to start bottling in January 2012 with a handful of the entry-level bottlings. I also tasted the 2009s. I will have more to say in our April issue, but for now I can share that the wines have developed beautifully. De Montille’s decision to pick early certainly seems to have paid off.
