The 2009 Puligny-Montrachet comes across as a touch linear and not quite as expressive as the other villages wines in the Jadot lineup. White flowers, white peaches and smoke are some of the notes that frame the taut, wiry finish. The medium bodied, delicate personality suggests this is best drunk sooner rather than later. Anticipated maturity: 2012+.
Jacques Lardiere and Frederic Barnier showed me a wide range of 2009s during my visit in late June, 2011. Many of the jewels among the 2009s are hidden in the villages level wines, which I highly encourage readers to check out. I also tasted a selection of 2008s. The 2008s are quite fat for the year. Yields were lower than in 2009. Lardiere made the decision to age the wines longer on their lees to give them more richness, which he felt was lacking because of the inconsistent, high acid vintage. As a result, these are fairly big 2008s.
