Lanson, Clos Lanson Vintage:2009 As good as this is

As good as this is though

Classic ripe Pauillac with a bit of spicy evolution

but while it's richer and more polished than the wines of yesteryear

Fully mature

As I wrote when I tasted this 2014 La Clotte from barrel

Lanson, Clos Lanson Vintage:2009 As good as this isThe 2009 Brut Blanc de Blancs Clos Lanson is showing beautifully, mingling aromas of pear, green apple and citrus oil with hints of fresh pastry, sourdough and nutmeg. Full bodied, layered and multidimensional, it's deep and incisive, with lovely tension and chalky back end grip, concluding with a long and penetrating finish. 2009 marks the third vintage of biodynamic farming for this small, one hectare vineyard.
