Insanely youthful! Could not believe how similar this drank to the 12 and 13’s. Ultra precise, linear and focused with a chalky minerality. Drinking very well now, but boy, this has a long life ahead.

Nothing short of superlative, this 2009 Les Chétillons is everything Grand Cru Le Mesnil a la Côte des Blancs can be at its very best; quince paste, orange blossom water, Calisson d'Aix, marzipan, brioche and the trembling tension of Les Chétillons that brings us back again and again no matter how much a dilettante might want never to try the same thing twice. No this is the wine that makes a bachelor hang his bugle in that proverbial invisible baldric -settling into a lifetime with the best this world has to offer. I'd rate this 15 out of 10 for every year my little fox and I have shared together as of today but Delectable only goes to 10. "This wine goes to 15..."

Probably my 6th time in the last 2 years tasting the '09 and I can unequivocally say this is one of the true classics of Champagne that not only is fantastic now, but will also age effortlessly for a long, long time.

2009 vintage. Bam - this really hits you. Very young, pronounced everything - nose, palate, finish. Has the signature acidity, lemon, precision that comes with this wine, but dialed up.
