Tasting Notes

There is better freshness and almost no sulfur on the petrol, citrus and resin-suffused nose. The mouthfeel of the medium-bodied flavors is both suave and succulent while possessing good depth on the nicely refined and persistent finale. Like the straight Chassagne villages, this isn't particularly dense, but I like the poise and overall balance.

88/91
Allen Meadows, Burghound.com (79), June 2020

Clear pale colour with a fresh, cool, zesty nose that shows elegance while the palate delivers the flesh, even some sucrosity. Apparently half the vineyard was picked on 27th August at 12.3% and half on 3rd September at 13%. The balance of the blend between the two is really lovely.
