"The 2009 Clos des ChĂȘnes from Maison Jadot is stellar. Here there is nothing but perfect ripeness, great terroir and the potential for a velvety and very complex period of peak maturity. The bouquet is a superb and very elegant mĂ©lange of black cherries, dark plums, bitter chocolate, fresh herbs, woodsmoke and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and very pure on the attack, with a great core of fruit, lovely soil tones, fine-grained tannins and a fine sense of reserve on the long and nascently complex finish. This will be a superb bottle of wine in the fullness of time."

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.
A thin-skinned, terroir-sensitive red producing perfumed, silky and elegant wines of red-berry fruit and earthy complexity. It reaches its apogee in Burgundy.
