Chambertin, Grand Cru, Non OWC, 2009

The 2009 Chambertin is one of the wines of the vintage. It is also the least obvious of the 2009 grand crus. This isn't an immediate wine, rather it is a Burgundy that challenges all of the senses with sublime understated personality. Time spent with the wine is immensely rewarding, as the Chambertin is constantly changing in the glass, challenging the taster to keep up with its sheer pedigree. This is all nuance and class. I also tasted the 2010 from barrel, and it was beyond profound.
