The 2009 Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeot Clos de la Chapelle Duc de Magenta presents a more delicate, vibrant personality than the Abbaye bottling. White stone fruits, flowers and minerals are some of the notes that flow from this tight, focused Chassagne. The Abbaye bottling is all about fruit and structure while Clos de la Chapelle is decidedly focused and wiry. I especially like the way the fruit fleshes out on the textured finish. Anticipated maturity: 2014+. 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. Importer: Kobrand Corp., Purchase, NY; tel. (914) 253-7756
