The 2009 Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeot captures a striking stylistic middle ground, with expressive aromatics and plenty of fruit, all supported by clean layers of minerality. It shows fabulous harmony and brightness all the way through to the finish. The oak is especially well-balanced. White flowers add the final layers of freshness on the finish. Anticipated maturity: 2013+.
Vincent Morey began harvesting his 2009s on September 10. The wines saw batonnage every two weeks. The malos were very fast, and were completed by January. The wines wre subsequently racked to steel and bottled in August 2010. I tasted all of the 2010s from barrel. It is a vintage I like very much here.
