Les Ruchottes Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Chardonnay

Young and fresh. Approachable now but will be better with a lot more age.

A little fat but scrumptious.

Such good juice. Needs 30 minutes of air.

Needs more time for the oak to integrate but in 5-7 this is going to be awesome.

For appetizers, this will do.

Intense nose of ripe tropical fruit, talcum powder and hint of smoked bacon, vanilla. Rich on the palate but beautifully balanced, honeysuckle, apple, pear. Showed great. #ramonet

2009 vintage. Medium lemon hue. Very concentrated, apricot and stone fruit, ripe lemon, vanilla and nuts. On the palate, medium plus acidity and medium body. Huge concentration and power. Long lingering finish. Extremely impressive, albeit round and fleshy. Drink now until 2025. Very good.

Hay/grass. Tiny bit of honey/white flower pollen. Touch of kiwi. Medium plus acidity, very little oak, lasting finish.

Très fin et aromatique, on dirait un Puligny et c'est 2009 !

Love the burg!
