I recently opened an extraordinary bottle of white Burgundy. There were several things about it that made it extraordinary in addition to its flavor. It was from the warm 2009 vintage. I was a little reticent about opening it, fearing it might display some of the heat of the vintage and lack zip. It was a village level wine and I was in the mood for a higher appellation such as premier cru or grand cru. Yet, in both cases, it performed better than many wines in those situations. It was fresh, focused and vibrant. It tasted higher than its classification. And it proves why Coche-Dury is such a reliable performer.
This was Meursault AC 2009. In fact, it was from the “Vireuils Dessus” parcelle which is high elevation and always bright. The warm vintage may have rounded it off just a bit but it was not at all flabby like some 09's can be.
