"This is perhaps the ripest wine to this point with a naturally spicy and mildly exotic yellow fruit nose that is admirably seductive and evidences a hint of lychee nut. The plush medium-bodied flavors possess excellent concentration and impressive finishing power on the mouth coating finish where plenty of dry extract is evident. This is already accessible and quite delicious if not quite as complex as the best of these 1ers."

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.
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.
