The 2009 Batard-Montrachet presents a gorgeous fabric of white flowers, light honey and juicy peaches. The oak (60% new) gives the Batard an extra dimension of sweetness and volume that the other wines here don’t seem to have. Accordingly, this needs a few more years in bottle to come together. The finish retains gorgeous elements of creaminess in what is a relatively understated style of Batard, especially within the context of the year. Anticipated maturity: 2014+.
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.
