The 2009 Bourgogne reveals lovely fleshiness in a mid-weight expression of yellow and white stone fruits. It shows excellent generosity all the way through to the classy, refined finish. This is a terrific wine in its category. Anticipated maturity: 2012+. This is a beautiful set of wines from Etienne Sauzet. Proprietor Gerard Boudot emphasized the importance of keeping yields low and picking early. The harvest began on September 7. Boudot did a very light batonnage, and the wines saw approximately 20% new oak. The 2009s were bottled beginning in August 2010, but the premier and grand crus weren’t bottled until March 2011.

Sweet start – very winning. But a bit heavy on the finish. Not refined. (JR)
