Chassagne-Montrachet, Côte de Beaune, Burgundy, France
Defies common notions of 09 whites. This is rich but racy, lively acidity that refreshes. Very precise minerality.

Lemon curd and hazelnut cream. Chalky and silky simultaneously. What a wine!

Open for 3 days. Rich yet with cut and linearity. Extraordinarily delicious. Orange blossom, butter, vanilla. This is just more persistent and concentrated in the mouth compared to the 2011 Nielon Chevalier. I love this. Just gorgeous and no reduction. Good oak (very light toast likely) that complements the fruit wonderfully in a nice subtle spice plus the more obvious vanilla. Excellent and everything I want from this wine/vineyard. Salted orange blossom, lavender short bread. So good! A little Sesame. Briny and oyster like! This is one of the best white burgs I have had in quite a while (Chablis aside)! Lemon curd. Best Chassagne I've ever had.

Lemon curd, light fresh straw, tropical notes, maybe a hint of passion fruit. Drinking well now, a bit rich for my taste.

Honeysuckle nose on this beauty. Almond, pear, and a crisp mineral finish. Amazing with seared foie!
