2009 and 2012 were too different in weather.

2009:
The health of the grapes in 2009 was exceptional, without a trace of the
rot that perennially plagues the vineyards of Burgundy.

(...)
The weather was hugely obliging from about mid July onwards, in fact Le
Bault de la Morinière maintains they will probably never see such a
perfect summer again, with hardly a cloud in the sky from the beginning
of August to the end of harvest. And yet temperatures were not excessive
and, thanks to a few storms in late July that were very worrying at the
time, the vines had enough water. As Denis Bachelet put it, 'the amount
of water in the soil facilitated perfect photosynthesis, which gave us
very rich musts - richer than ever'.





2012:
most growers struggled to achieve full ripeness before the September
rains arrived, so that natural alcohol levels are in the 12 to 12.5%
range, often supplemented by a bit of sugar added to the fermentation
vat to prolong fermentation.

(...)

The better reds on the other hand at this early stage in their lives,
while being generally lighter than either 2010 or 2005, are almost
eerily charming, and expressive of their various origins. Presumably the
generally cool summer helped to preserve freshness and aromas. I do
wonder about their longevity, but when they offer such pleasure so
early, perhaps this is a needless concern.

2009: It was a splendid summer. From the middle of May onwards the sun
shone; it was warm though rarely very hot; it was dry without being
parched; and these favourable conditions continued through until the end
of the harvest and beyond.

2012: The first half of 2012 could hardly have been worse. While March
was mild, April, May and June were almost uninterruptedly cold, wet and
miserable. The development of the vine was retarded, the threat of
mildew and oïdium was rife (and hardly had you applied a treatment than
the rain would wash it away and it would be necessary to repeat the
process), the flowering was late and drawn out, and there was extensive
hail damage, particularly on June 30th and August 1st.
