It’s far from cheap for a Chalonnaise white but it’s very very good. Little discernible oak influence on the nose, which, with some air, gives off increasingly deep pear and ripe apple fruit, along with deep-toned limestoney notes. Great concentration in the mouth, with weighty fruit and deep minerality spilling into a long finish. Medium-low acids. Whether it’s worth the high price tag is debatable, but you can’t deny that it’s quite enjoyable and interesting.

What I’m internally debating is this: At this price point, would I rather have a well-made village or lieu-dit Meursault, or an elite Montagny? There’s a special terroir that comes through with a well-made village Meursault, or Chassagne, or Puligny (or even a good Saint-Aubin or Auxey). And Montagny—even a maxed-out Montagny like this one—won’t have that. (I guess I answered my own question.) — 3 months ago

Wish I had the patience to cellar this but it’s brilliant already. So unique, incredible almost grainy texture and mouthfeels. Sappy and vibrant on the one hand but deep and savoury. Lovely stuff. — a year ago
