2009 Germain Henri Meursault Chevalières

By billn on September 29, 2011

High-toned, quite pretty aromas. After the (2010) premier crus this is less direct and focused, yet it oozes flavour across your tongue. Quite decent acidity too.

2009 Germain Henri Meursault Le Limozin

By billn on September 29, 2011

Here is a much more frank fruit note. Fresh, with fine acidity though again there is less absolute focus versus the 2010s. Mouth-watering flavour of green-skinned fruit – lovely wine.

2009 Germain Henri Meursault Charmes

By billn on September 29, 2011

Pungent Meursault character edged with some higher tones – am I going to like this? Again, commendably fresh so with good energy. Strong finishing flavour – lovely!

2009 Germain Henri Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeot

By billn on September 29, 2011

Chassagne herbs interspersed with flashes of wood-spice. This is certainly more mineral than the Charmes, mouth-watering too. The intensity of flavour grows with the acidity delivering you into a finish of fine flavour.

2009 Germain Henri Beaune Bressandes

By billn on September 29, 2011

Quite old vines, planted between 1960-65. Darker notes with hints of tobacco – this needs a little time in the glass to release its dark cherry fruit. A hint of fat and silk, the flavour grows in the mid-palate – again with some minerality. Very good Beaune, but if I could only take one, it would be the 2010.
