2009 Vosne Romanee Les Chaumes
Buying options
Tasting notes
The 2009 Vosne-Romanee Les Chaumes is insanely beautiful. It is a complex wine that changes constantly in the glass. At times it is the wine’s dark fruit that dominates, while at others it is the aromatics that take center stage. I especially like the way the Chaumes blossoms on the palate. The finish is rich, textured and totally seductive. Anticipated maturity: 2019-2029. Louis-Michel Liger-Belair is one of the emerging superstars in Burgundy. Over the last decade or so he has gradually taken back vineyards that his family had previously leased. The collection of vineyards would make anyone’s mouth water, although it is only a small portion of the holdings the family once owned. These are some of the most effortless, graceful Burgundies readers will find. The house style is all about elegance. The vineyards were converted to biodynamics starting in 2008. Work in the cellar is equally non-interventionalist. The 2009 harvest started on September 12. The fruit was 100% destemmed and all of the wines were aged in 100% new oak. Some of the 2009s were bottled by early February, while the rest of the wines were scheduled to be bottled in late March. Importer: Grand Crus Selections, New York, NY; tel. (212) 974-2500
