Chassagne Montrachet, Les Petits Clos, 1er Cru, 2021

Caroline's Les Petit Clos offers up a more floral side of Chassagne, with aromatic cool white fruits, dancing acidity and fine boned delicate stony flavours; blanched almonds and white flowers. But there's no shortage of depth here either. A very pretty wine. 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 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.
