Bachelet Monnot
Chassagne-Montrachet, La Romanée, 1er Cru, 2014
justerini & brooks tasting note
La Romanee is a relative newcomer to the range yet the brothers already appear to have a very solid understanding of the terroir. Endowed with the most lovely, sleek, elegant curves, there are no hard edges here yet the wine also has great focus and precision. Sweet butter, lime and greengage flavours lead to a smooth pebbly finish. Top stuff.
critic reviews
91/100Stephen Tanzer,Vinous
An aroma of lemon is complicated by yellow and white flowers. Concentrated, juicy and classic, with its flavors of white peach and flowers conveying an irresistibly sappy, gulpable quality. Classic fresh Chassagne with real grip and length. The Bachelet brothers make this rather powerful village wine very reductively.
