Olivier Bernstein Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru 2009

The White at the End of the List

Olivier Bernstein Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru 2009 · Burgundy, France · tasted 15 November 2024

A house built on Côte de Nuits reds makes only a handful of whites. This is one of them — closed on opening, then long, layered and saline, and still not finished at fifteen.

Olivier Bernstein Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru 2009

Eight Barrels From Two Neighbours

Olivier Bernstein Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru 2009 · Burgundy, France · tasted 19 March 2021

Olivier Bernstein had made exactly three vintages when 2009 arrived. His Charmes-Chambertin, blended from old vines in Charmes and Mazoyères, was the Burgundy that followed a Salon and preceded two Krankls — and held its ground.
