Chassagne Montrachet, Les Petits Clos, 1er Cru, 2020

Available Vintages
justerini & brooks tasting note

Full and nutty, corpulent, curvy and attractive as ever with a little more grip and chew than usual. The palate offers plump yellow fruits, a citrus peel freshness and a complex roasted almond richness. Morgeot is a big vineyard that has the propensity to make very full and sometimes dull and heavy wines, however Caroline's parcel is from the higher part of the Morgeot on a slope where the wines show more finesse and distinction. This parcel is called Les Petits Clos, which has appeared on the label since the 2011 vintage. Bordering the Santenay road "Les Petits Clos" consists of white clay soil with limestone outcrops and has a good south-east exposure. Ageing is in 30% new oak for 18 months.

90-92/100Neal Martin,Vinous

The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Petits Clos 1er Cru has much more gusto on the nose compared to the Les Chenevottes, vivid and full of beans! The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, lime and citrus peel, touches of sour lemon lead to a tensile finish. Very promising.
