"The 2009 Criots-Batard-Montrachet is an insanely beautiful wine. Layers of fruit emerge effortlessly in this sublime, captivating Burgundy. White flowers, honey and mint contribute to an impression of sensuality on the exceptionally long, silky finish. This is a fabulous effort that is notable for its seamlessness and totally sublime, engaging personality. The Criots is the most delicate of the grand crus here, and it is fabulous."

Chassagne-Montrachet is a village AOC in Burgundy's Cote de Beaune with numerous Premier Crus, renowned above all for rich, nutty, mineral Chardonnay whites, though it also makes firm Pinot Noir reds.
2009 in Burgundy was warm and sunny, producing ripe, rich and generous reds of hedonistic charm and supple tannins; the whites are opulent but can lack acidity, making them best enjoyed relatively young.
