Note di degustazione
Pale straw-yellow. Crushed stone, peach and flowers complicated by a saline nuance on the nose; strongly chalky throughout. Rich and intense, offering a seamless texture and impressive volume without any undue weight. The rich stone fruit flavors are already harmonious but the dry finish shows a slight warmth.

The 2009 Chassagne-Montrachet Cailleret is one of the more subtle wines in this lineup. It reveals gorgeous delineation to match its ripe, forward fruit. Deceptively medium in body, the Cailleret builds beautifully towards a long, inward yet beautifully expressive, saline finish. Anticipated maturity: 2012+. Jacques Lardiere and Frederic Barnier showed me a wide range of 2009s during my visit in late June, 2011. Many of the jewels among the 2009s are hidden in the villages level wines, which I highly encourage readers to check out. I also tasted a selection of 2008s. The 2008s are quite fat for the year. Yields were lower than in 2009. Lardiere made the decision to age the wines longer on their lees to give them more richness, which he felt was lacking because of the inconsistent, high acid vintage. As a result, these are fairly big 2008s. Importer: Kobrand Corp., Purchase, NY; tel. (914) 253-7756

Louis Jadot is arguably the most consistent négociant house in Burgundy. It has managed to straddle both the entry-level and fine wine market, while retaining respect in both.
