Note di degustazione
The 2009 Cote de Beaune – Villages (from vines in Meursault) is impeccable from start to finish. It is a beautiful, understated wine with nicely articulated layers of fruit and a superb, textured finish. Silky red berries linger on a taut, vibrant finish. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2019. This is a stunning set of wines from Michel Lafarge. The estate farms biodynamically. The wines were left on their gross lees through the malos, which ended in April-May. Lafarge did one racking, in August, 2010, when he moved the wine off their gross lees, leaving just the fine lees. I tasted the 2009s from barrel. Lafarge planned to bottle later in Spring 2011 with no fining or filtration, as is his usual custom.

Light crimson, lightly stewed cherries on the nose. Rich and firm. Lots of chew. A bit tough too for the moment and quite light so it may never be an absolute stonker. (JR)
