"Monsieur Boisson tells me that their parcel of Chevalieres is always their last plot to be harvested, and this was indeed the case in 2009. Despite the vagaries of late harvesting in 2009, where sugars spiraled out of control very briskly, the 2009 Boisson-Vadot Chevaliers shows no signs of any of these potential pitfalls. The bouquet is deep, pure and strikingly beautiful, as it offers up a complex mélange of apple, pear, orange zest, iodine, great minerality and a topnote of lime blossoms. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and quite closed, with a rock solid core of fruit, superb acids, laser-like focus and outstanding backend grip on the very long and racy finish. This will need a few years to fully blossom and should prove to be an absolutely outstanding example of the vintage."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
The Cote de Beaune's largest white-wine village, known for rich, nutty, buttery Chardonnay of generous texture.
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.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
