La Grande Rue, Grand Cru, 2009

La Grande Rue is an exceptional vineyard that sits next to La Tâche and was granted the honour of Grand Cru status in 1992. The 2009 is bewitching, wonderfully textured, satin-like, with ripe juicy flavours of berries, cherries, sloe and damson. This is a bright and vivacious 2009, with delightful mineral highlights and culminating in a long, truly haunting vintage. Stunning.
