Chassagne Montrachet Le Concis du Champs, Domaine Hubert Lamy 2022

Aromas of pear, green apple, freshly baked bread and subtle hints of citrus blossom introduce the 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet Le Concis du Champs, a medium to full-bodied, satiny and racy wine with good depth and cut. This is a specially strong rendition of this bottling, produced from massal selections planted at 14,000 vines per hectare.

Planted in 2004 using an ATVB selection, at a density of 14,000 plants per hectare, giving little golden grapes. A little more depth of colour here. Plenty of tension, some youthful bitterness, much more weight than La Princée. I was not initially convinced by the early vintages of Concis des Champs after the switch to Chardonnay, but now the results are evident. Drink from 2027-2033.
