2009 Blain-Gagnard Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Caillerets

2024-05-14T18:53:20Z

96 points - Full deep gold. Reductive touches on the nose, chicken stock, savoury and aged, snuffed candle. After some time open, it becomes more complex, interesting and nuanced. Seamless, full and silken on the palate with great structure, lithe and taut without being overbearing. A picture of elegance. Touches of nougat, detailed, excellent coverage and length.

2009 Blain-Gagnard Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Caillerets

96 points - Half bottle. Neon yellow colour, nicely aged. Wine is at its peak: still has tension. There are buttery nutty notes as the wine warms up. Stunning Chardonnay. Creamy, but with that acidity that only top Chardonnay can muster. Later, with air: creamy chicken, but also cacao-esque aromas. Super complex. Outstanding wine. Quintessential Chardonnay, archetypal.

93 points - Deep purple red. Moderate savoury aromas, leather and spice, florals. Firm, nicely structured. A surprisingly good Burgundy with body and masculinity.

88 points - Medium dark red. Slightly reductive nose. Palate a tad flat. Fine tannins, pencil shavings. Is this a wine that needs time? Not sure if this will be long lived. Is there enough acidity? Somehow lacks in amplitude. Maybe it just needs air.
