Note: from shallow soil that is a mixture of clay and fragmented rock. A more reserved and slightly more elegant nose offers up notes of pear, citrus and dried rose petal and also displays a background note of resin. There is ample flesh and body to the middle weight flavors that exude dry extract that buffers the otherwise moderately firm acidity on the energetic and mouth coating finish that exhibits good linearity. - Comments: Outstanding ♥

The 2009 Chassagne-Montrachet Champgains comes across as quite pretty and delicate, with nicely layered aromatics and highly expressive fruit. This really opens up beautifully in all directions, showing terrific fleshiness and plenty of freshness. Hints of mint, flowers and white peaches wrap around the mineral-laced finish. Anticipated maturity: 2012+. -Antonio Galloni
