Domaine Albert Morot Beaune 1er Cru "Marconnets" 2009
92 pts Allen Meadows,Burghound (Apr 2012):
Ripe black berry and cherry liqueur-like aromas cut with plenty of earth and underbrush give way to very rich, full- bodied and seductively textured flavors. There is an abundance of dry extract that renders the otherwise firm and dusty tannins almost invisible on the serious and impressively persistent finish. This should reward up to a decade of cellar time and it will need all of it. Outstanding
91 pts Wine Spectator (Jun 2012):
A big, powerful red, sporting raspberry, cherry jam and mineral notes. Firms up as the dusty tannins gather forces on the finish. Still in a shell, but with ample sweet fruit. Bestfrom 2015 through 2028.

The 2009 Beaune Marconnets is all about understatement. It doesn't have the exuberance of some of the other wines here, but it makes up for that with its terrific overall balance. There is an element of softness to the fruit that makes the Marconnets a joy to taste right now. Crushed flowers, licorice and sweet spices linger on the finish.
布根地 Beaune村內有著相當多的知名酒商,諸如Bouchard Pere & Fils、Chanson Pere & Fils、Joseph Drouhin、Louis Jadot等等都設立於此,或許這些大名氣的酒商搶走了大多數的光環,讓人忽略了同時在此還是藏著一些小酒莊,在這些獨立的小酒莊中,最為重要的首推Domaine Albert Morot。Domaine Albert Morot最初在1820是以酒商的名義設立,接著在1890年買入了數公頃的葡萄園之後,便同時經營酒商與酒莊的生意,一直到1980年代末期,決定放棄了酒商生意,專職酒莊的照顧。那時的莊主為Albert Morot的兩個外孫兒女Guy Choppin和Françoise Choppin,由於不久之後Guy因病去世,酒莊的工作全部由外孫女Françoise一肩扛起。終生未婚的Françoise,有著堅毅性格,勤奮認真,堅持傳統的哲理,釀造出一款款最具古典風格的布根地葡萄酒。Francoise一直主掌酒莊到1999年的採收完畢,才將重責大任傳承給侄子Geoffroy Choppin de Janvry。
