Tasting notes
The 2009 Bourgogne Chardonnay comes across as big, boisterous and full of life. It is a sunny, radiant white oozing with personality. Readers seeking a fruit-forward Bourgogne for current drinking that won't break the bank will find plenty to admire here. I loved it.

The 2009 Bourgogne Chardonnay comes across as big, boisterous and full of life. It is a sunny, radiant white oozing with personality. Readers seeking a fruit-forward Bourgogne for current drinking that won’t break the bank will find plenty to admire here. I loved it. Anticipated maturity: 2012+. Arnaud Ente began picking very early, on September 1st. The 2009s spent approximately one year in oak, followed by six months in steel. New oak was around 25%. The 2009s were bottled in March 2010 with no fining or filtration.. I tasted the 2010s from oak. Both vintages are very strong. Importer: Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, Berkeley, CA; tel. (510) 524-1524
