My QPR of the Year in Red Burgundy

WINE TALK
1

2009 Bourgogne “Pressoniere” (Roty) - 13% alcohol
In normal years this wine can be a bit chunky, tannic and “Four Square”.
It requires several years aging to round out.
I figured in a ripe vintage like 2009, this might really hit a sweet spot.
I was right… [wow.gif]

Deep crimson red.
Highly perfumed nose of pine sap and Maraschino Cherries.
Lovely, firm, spicy, minerally, mocha red fruits with a long, ripely tannic, Clove aftertaste. flirtysmile
Excellent acid rounds off what I consider one of the finest young Bourgognes in my experience!
This wine could be classified as a Gevrey Villages wine but Roty chooses not to do so.
At $16.99 per Premier Cru my absolute QPR o’ da year!!
Picked up two more cases at a little more $ to assure fine drinking over the next several years.
This is the only wine that I have ever bought more than one case of.
My highest Testy Troll Recommendation…

Good call, Paul - I really liked this wine in 2005 too. Amazingly, PC sometimes blows this wine out at under $10 so keep your eyes peeled! When I’m buying again I will look for this or the 2010.

Just had the 2005.
It rocks too!
Got a line on a case of the 2002 version that I will be sampling next week.

Sort of off topic, but I’ve had a couple bottles of the Roty 09 Marsannay which I thought terrific. Delicious and, for me, a good intro to Burgundy since I drink mostly CA pinot.

This is about half the price so ill keep an eye out in warmer years.

How was this in 2008?

I don’t recall tasting the 2008 version.
Da Hound scores the 2008, 85 pts.
He scores the 2009, 87 pts.
From his description, the 2008 appears to ba a wine needing many years to round out (typical of Roty non “Ripe” vintages)

I would stick with the 2009, when and where you can find it for a good price (<$28).
You won’t be disappointed!

Where did you find it? Wine-Searcher yields no result.

In my experience even in “lean” years it is a stunner, just takes a longer time to get there. A true “shhhhhhh” wine if there ever was one.

Thanks Paul. The only thing is a big price difference - €8.93 vs €15.00

Aargh.

I found it…just had to rearrange the words in the name…

Not always such an easy wine. The 99 is only just ready.

14

rip torn eyesores?

repertory noises? (my biz, actually)

Unfortunately >$32 per bottle.
It’s actually worth that!

You people are (a bit) evil.

Just ordered some 09 and some 08.

Thanks. [cheers.gif]

That’s “Wine World Warehouse”…and unfortunately they don’t ship to Kentucky. (And no one in CA does, except through expensive third-party shippers… [swearing.gif])

2010, also not bad. Steep price, though.

Look at Rip Torn’s mugshot, and you’d agree that it was quite an ‘eyesore’. [tease.gif]Rip Torn Arrested for Armed Bank Break-In
