Hubert Lignier, who has seen his share of vintages, described 2009 as "not extraordinary but very good. It's not a vintage for long aging due to its low acidity. The wines will be at their best over the next 15 years." In comparison, he added, the 2008s have more tension and acidity and will need longer aging. The 2009 malos finished earlier than usual, mostly by February, and Lignier gave the wines a stronger-than-usual dose of SO2 afterwards as he was concerned about the risk of getting volatile acidity. Potential alcohol levels were in the 12.5% to 13% range, and only the Bourgogne was chaptalized.
