Note di degustazione
Pale yellow-green. Very ripe but fresh aromas of lime, mirabelle , white flowers and menthol. Ripe, concentrated and dry, with lovely purity to its lemon drop and floral flavors. Boasts serious stuffing and length. These 2009s were bottled in April and May of 2011 but had been taken out of oak before the 2010 harvest.

The 2009 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Chaumees shows considerable freshness and cut in its white flowers, jasmine and white peaches. This is an especially vibrant, chiseled wine for the vintage, with gorgeous balance and a clean, energetic finish.
The 2009 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Chaumees shows considerable freshness and cut in its white flowers, jasmine and white peaches. This is an especially vibrant, chiseled wine for the vintage, with gorgeous balance and a clean, energetic finish. Anticipated maturity: 2013+. Vincent Girardin is among the producers who have made the most dramatic changes in response to the issue of premature oxidation. Girardin has increased the amount of time his wines spend on their lees, has lowered new oak, has eliminated batonnage and has basically re-built his entire approach from the bottom up, which I have to say, is quite impressive. The 2009s were harvested beginning on September 15, with natural alcohols in the 12.5-13% range. The wines were bottled between mid-March and mid-May 2011. Today the 2009s are quite fresh and still showing some of the effects of their recent bottling. It is safe to say the wines Girardin is making today are quite different from those of the past.
