The 2009 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Vergers is at once one of the riper wines in this lineup but it also comes across as nuanced and quite fine. It reveals multiple shades of inner sweetness to match its sublime, textured fruit. Light honeyed tones and mint wrap around the dense, insistent finish. The Vergers is exuberant and marvelously complete. Anticipated maturity: 2013+.
Richard Fontaine began harvesting the 2009s on September 6. The malos were fairly quick and were completed by April 2010. The wines were racked in June and bottled in early September. Perhaps it is inevitable with a total of ten different Chassagne premier crus in the lineup, but in this vintage not all of the wines are markedly different from each other.
