Chassagne-Montrachet, 2022
Gentle, creamy ripe lemon fruit with plenty of texture, polished stones, salt and green olive brine on the finish. Mid-weight, refined and even keeled without undue Chassagne weight holding it back. From numerous limestone influenced parcels on the Puligny side of the Chassagne appellation; one just below Criots, another underneath Maltroie and finally one just above Caillerets. Fermentation and élévage take place in 350 litre barrels, with no bâtonnage, for 12 months before six months in stainless steel.
critic reviews
The 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet Village has a delightful bouquet: chai tea mixed with citrus fruit, elegant in style with the 25% new oak deftly integrated. The palate is well-balanced with lemon rind and orange zest on the entry and fine weight. It’s very harmonious with a nuanced, spicy finish. Totally delicious and nudging Premier Cru in quality.
