Vintage information 2009:

The reds: Concentration, drinkability and real depths are the hallmark of this vintage. The wines are ripe and despite their seemingly low acidity (analytically) the wines have a good balance. They will be very successful.
For Whites: Lovely wines are to be found; with energy yet a contemplative, mellow complexity - they can be beguiling. On the other hand there are also many (prior to bottling) that seem a little lumpen; concentration but without vitality. Just a little like some wines from 2005. Let us see... Dec.2010

 

 

2009 Ramonet Noel, Chassagne-MontrachetMay. 2011
A good nose of classic Chassagne herbs over a ripe core of fruit. Also quite rich but this easily has more finesse than the bourgogne and a mid-palate density of flavour that grows and grows – lovely.
2009 Bouton Gilles, Chassagne-MontrachetApr. 2011
High-toned aromas lined with herbs. Seems less fresh than the St.Aubins – until you reach the intense mid-palate – super.
2009 Bouton Gilles, Chassagne-MontrachetApr. 2011
Medium-plus colour. A dark note of coal blends with the fruit. The tannins seem squashable making platelets instead of grains – very good acidity releases mouth-watering fruit flavours. The fruit is quite in the ascendant right now.
2009 Moreau Bernard, Chassagne-MontrachetDec. 2010
In bottle one day! An assemblage of a number of parcels including a little 1er cru Champsgains. Aromatically wide if not deep, a little green herb aroma too. Less supple and soft than the St.Aubin, but rounder. The intensity grows and grows with the mid-palate flavour growing in tandem.
