The 2009 Meursault Les Petits Charrons is a big Burgundy that captures the essence of this warm vintage in its radiant, expressive fruit. There is no shortage of textural depth, richness or gravitas in this forward, engaging wine. This is a fairly overt style, and one that will deliver considerable pleasure right out of the gate. Anticipated maturity: 2013+. Arnaud Ente began picking very early, on September 1st. The 2009s spent approximately one year in oak, followed by six months in steel. New oak was around 25%. The 2009s were bottled in March 2010 with no fining or filtration.. I tasted the 2010s from oak. Both vintages are very strong. Importer: Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, Berkeley, CA; tel. (510) 524-1524
