Chassagne Montrachet, 2023
Such an inviting nose – fine, sweet yellow fruit with spiced cream, a touch of spice and toast. Calm and serene, yet generous too, with a buttery Chassagne texture that sends this gliding across the palate. Seamless and very lovely. 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 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet Village comes from eight different parcels around the appellation, kept separate during the élevage. It has an attractive bouquet with yellow plum and praline scents and a light brioche aroma that intensifies with aeration. The palate is well balanced with a keen line of acidity, fresh and poised with good presence and tension on the finish. This will be irresistible.
