2009 Meursault Clos de la Barre

The 2009 Meursault Clos de la Barre is quite pretty. Today it comes across as a touch lithe, but there is plenty of freshness and verve in the glass. It will be interesting to see where this goes in bottle. I tasted the Clos de la Barre from tank, where it was awaiting bottling, scheduled for July, 2011, probably not the ideal time to taste the wine. Anticipated maturity: 2014+.
