Tasting notes
The 2009 Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet is dazzling. This is all about texture, length and cashmere-like finesse. Sweet floral notes frame layers of subtle yet deeply expressive fruit. The finish is simply striking.

The 2009 Criots-Batard-Montrachet is dazzling. This is all about texture, length and cashmere-like finesse. Sweet floral notes frame layers of subtle yet deeply expressive fruit. The finish is simply striking. Anticipated maturity: 2014+. This is a fabulous set of wines from Olivier Lamy. From top to bottom, I can't think of a single wine I wouldn't be thrilled to drink. Lamy began harvesting on September 7. The 2009s spent approximately twelve months in barrel and six months in steel. I also tasted through a number of the 2010s. Some of the wines were still in malo, but those that were not, including the Clos de Meix, Derriere Chez Edouard, En Remilly and Chatenieres, were all very promising. Simply put, I can't recommend these wines highly enough. A Becky Wasserman Selection, -Le Serbet,- imported by Polaner Selections, Mt. Kisco, NY; tel. (914) 244-0404
