"The 2009 Blanchots offers up just stunning transparency for this riper styled vintage, coupled to beautiful structure and absolutely disarming purity of fruit. The superb bouquet offers up scents of lemon, apple, grapefruit, anise, very, very complex minerality, a touch of hay and a topnote of lemon peel. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and very crisp, with great focus, a fine core of fruit, impeccable balance and beautiful complexity and cut on the very long, snappy and intensely flavored finish. This is a great vintage of Blanchots in the making."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
Produces steely, mineral Chardonnay from Kimmeridgian limestone in Burgundy's cool north, prized for precision, purity and saline drive.
2009 in Burgundy was warm and sunny, producing ripe, rich and generous reds of hedonistic charm and supple tannins; the whites are opulent but can lack acidity, making them best enjoyed relatively young.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
