The 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Chaumées 1er Cru has one of the better aromatics among the wines tasted from the lower reaches of the appellation. Well defined, quite minerally, perky citrus fresh fruit with a subtle gunflint aroma that surfaces with aeration. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity, leaning more towards the richer and more exotic style of Chassagne, but pulling it off thanks to the acidic drive and the clever and discreet reduction on the finish. Excellent. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.In Bond£650.52 -
