My recent 2009 Le Clos Guillot Chinon

TN: 2009 Domaine Bernard Baudry Chinon Le Clos Guillot.
My last bottle of 3. Very good cork, 13% alc, decanted and served slightly chilled.

Light purple rim, hint of bricking. Wonderful nose with olive, green pepper, cherry and “maybe raspberry” from across the table. Nose held up overnight.
Initial entry thought was dry, soft tannins, still savoury , medium bodied and fair acidity. My storage has produced a winner, no doubt about that. Bell pepper, red fruits, raspberry for sure. Some ripe fruit day 2 on mid-palate blackcurrant. Balance here remains spot on as per previous bottles.
Food was perogy and farmers sausage.

Cool, thanks for the note. I have a few of each cuvee left in this vintage, will move a Guillot forward.

The top 2009 Chinons have decades left in them yet. Happily I don’t think I am even halfway through my stock.

Interesting match with pierogi. I probably would have gone with something white.
