Well-defined, chalky spice with a herbaceous elements plus Meyer lemons, ripe apples and guava juice on the medium-bodied, pretty intense and positives dry palate where the integrated oak spice add complexity on the close.

Classic Drouhin, nuanced, mild fruit front that continues through whole taste. Balanced alcohol, as one would expect. Nothing to complain about here.

Butterscotch nose, minerality and acid runs through to make this wine very classic and drinkable, but these wines need age.

Butter, apples, lemons and a pronounced minerality. A refreshing acidity keeps the mouthfeel uncluttered and makes you yearn for another sip. Thoroughly delightful.

This is an extremely well done #chassagnemontrachet It has fantastic balance, weight, and structure. The texture of butter and med + complexity. The oak is there but in a sexy way. #josephdrouhin #cotedebeaune #chardonnay #burgundy #negociant #ctbucklinwine

Pale yellow. Nice citrus wet stone flowers on the nose. Lemon, peach, honey, green apple wet stone on the palate. I love the crisp minerality and smooth lingering finish. Great complexity. This a very nice wine

Solid effort. Nice balance of oak and acid. Not overly layered but drinking well and good value.
