Tasting Notes

The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet Boudriotte 1er Cru does not quite deliver the delineation of the Clos St.-Jean with scents of Granny Smith apples and crushed rock. The palate is concentrated and sappy, almost Puligny-like in terms of austerity. A Chassagne that I believe will reward bottle age.

Nuances of smoky reduction don't completely mask the aromas of pear essence though even so, I would suggest a quick aeration that it would be beneficial. There is better volume if a bit less refinement to the medium-bodied flavors that deliver excellent length on the clean, dry and delicious finale. This is a wine that needs at least a few years to settle down and better harmonize though once it does, it should be lovely. Note: from Fairendes
