Chassagne-Montrachet, Les Chenevottes, 1er Cru, 2021
justerini & brooks tasting note
Super delicious old school white Burgundy at its best - full of punchy, buttery but fresh citrus fruit. Impactful and complex, this offers wonderfully intense, classical notes of flint, roasted nut, butter and citrus rind. Unctuous and fleshy but zesty, too. One of Caroline's best Chenevottes! A vineyard located at the northern edge of the village, on the Saint-Aubin side towards the bottom of the hill. The slope is gentle but steep enough to ensure good drainage; the soil is light clay mixed with iron rich pebbles.
