Note di degustazione
100% Pinot Noir, grown on east-south-east facing slopes on largely limestone soil with rocks, marl, sand, red silt and large crushed pebbles. The grapes were harvested on the 25 September with a yield of 30 -35 hl/ha. The fruit was 100% destemmed and then left to cold macerate for seven days prior to a long temperature-controlled alcoholic fermentation (21 days) in oak vats with two pigeages per day. Aged on lees in oak barrels (30% new oak) for 15 months, with a late occurring natural malolactic. Neither fined nor filtered: racked and bottled by gravity flow. Winemaker Patrick Landanger. TA 5.98 g/l, pH 3.46, RS 0.54 g/l. Attractively juicy Pinot fruit, even if not desperately Chambolle. Hint of cinnamon. Nice fluidity. Well put together and no-one could object to this except real Burgundy purists perhaps. (JR)

The 2009 Chambolle-Musigny is a huge, muscular Chambolle. Rich and textured through and through, the Chambolle dazzles for the richness of its fruit. This shows phenomenal balance and tons of style. It is one of the best village level Chambolles I tasted. Not entirely surprisingly, the Chambolle includes fruit from two small 1er Cru parcels– Gruenchers and Derrière le Four.

It is one of the best village level Chambolles I tasted. Not entirely surprisingly, the Chambolle includes fruit from two small 1er Cru parcels - Gruenchers and Derriere le Four. Anticipated maturity: 2019-2029. This is a stunning set of wines from Patrick Landager. The vintage yielded a set of super-sized, big wines that may shock some readers for their sheer intensity. These are among some of the most backward 2009s I tasted and will require considerable patience. The estate now farms a total of 19 hectares, which includes the vineyards Landager acquired when he bought Domaine Moine-Hudelot a few years back. In 2009 Landager started harvesting on September 22, when most people were already finished picking. Cuvaison started with 5-6 days of cold maceration and lasted a total of three weeks with one punchdown in the morning and a second in the afternoon. The wines spent 12-15 months in oak (roughly 30% new) on their fine lees with no rackings until they were prepared for bottling, which took place with no fining or filtration. (Note: the Chambolle saw 50% new oak). All of the 2009s were bottled in early February 2010. Importers: North Berkeley Wine, Oakland, CA; tel.
