The 2009 vintage in Burgundy was exceptionally good, marked by an unseasonably warm spring and a summer that, despite some humid spells, delivered a heatwave in August and relieving rains in September. This led to grapes with rich, concentrated fruit and heady aromatics, resulting in generally excellent wines with great structure. Many consider 2009 a spectacular vintage for red Burgundies, offering ripe fruit and suitability for both early drinking and further cellaring. This Lucien Le Moine Chambolle Musigny Les Hauts Doix 1er Cru 2009 reveals a complex nose of baking spice, cloves, orange peel, raspberry, and subtle vanilla notes, presenting an inviting and elegant profile. It can also display red fruits, blackberry, liquorice, and smokey undertones, or deeper dark fruit characteristics like black cherry, black plums, and black currants with earthy and iron hints. On the palate, it is rich and supple, evoking cherry, blackberry, violet, and spice, with silky tannins and a pure, long, harmonious finish. 【 Benchmark Brilliance from a Spectacular Vintage 】 🍴 Food pairing suggestions: This elegant red Burgundy pairs beautifully with slow-roasted lamb, capon, and mature cheeses such as Reblochon or Brillat-Savarin.
