Pale golden straw. Immediate whiff of gunpowder wafts past lemon zest and warm juice undercoats; lemon verbena, living sage, chive, and colored pencil. Palatal silk evaporates to spongey pith of lime in a magically, porously, dry transformation shimmering with crystalline suggestions and smoky allusions.long and heartfelt reverberations beyond its last drops.

#chassagnemontrachet #premieurcru eagerly waited a couple of years to open this. First day, drank it too cold and paired it with gulf coast Grouper meunière-style which would have went better with a steely crisp Chablis. 2 days later from wine fridge, serving in a Pinot Noir bowl wine glass my experience was transformed as the wine warmed up gently on a cool sunny day. Lemon curd, ghee, almond paste, faint floral honey tones on the nose. Rich, almost oily mouthfeel, tension and mineral notes in the backseat with ascendant lemon curd, creamy meringue and ripe pear. Delicious layers of flavor from the last glass in the bottle. — 5 years ago

No sign of premox here. Just serious #Chardonnay from #chassagnemontrachet — 9 years ago
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 — 10 years ago
A delicious showing with the depth, complexity, and power of a #premiercru The fruit was on the riper side and there was a beautiful floral component. The palate had great grip. #chassagnemontrachet #chardonnay #cotesdebeaune #morey — 10 years ago
Pale gold. Slight gunpowder before lemon and lime pith and juices with a spiciness. Racy lemon with white pepper notes and chive essence.

Lemon, leek, lime, sage, dried pineapple and tangerine pith, jasmine and caperberry nose. Racy lemon pith and oils are rounded just slightly by green olive whisper, rich white grapefruit, snap pea and lemongrass. Seductive and fast!

Scents of petrol, apricot, and lime. Really enticing flavors of peach, citrus, vanilla. Long finish with just the right amount of acid. #whiteburg #chassagnemontrachet #jeanmarcpillot — 6 years ago
Lemon tart, lemon curd and lemon yoghurt on the nose. Hints of apricots and green pineapple as well. On the palate high acidity, chalky minerality, green apples and lemon. A hint of butterscotch. It seems rather ripe and rather evolved in color for a 2016. #montrachet #chassagnemontrachet #chardonnay #burgundy #whiteburgundy — 6 years ago

Much more expressive than 1 year ago. Nose was powerful and ripe with nice complexity. Palate was full with a nice backbone of acid. This is in great shape right now! #benjaminleroux #chassagnemontrachet #premieurcru #chardonay #burgundy #ctbucklinwine — 10 years ago
Typical #burgundian nose that had medium + complexity. Unfortunately the palate was disjointed with a short finish. #chassagnemontrachet #rouge #pinotnoir #burgundy — 10 years ago
Cherry blossom, lemon zest, whiff of powder, lime pith candied grapefruit nose. Lemon tart, lemon verbena and lemongrass emerge from warm lemon depths. Chalky and precise, this producer delivers a very pointed and yet complex offering evoking salivation and reverberating with cool herbaceous undertones.

Young, but accessible. Gun flint nose is instantly seductive descending like smoke onto brioche and twists of impossibly minute lemon peel, lime and tangerine piths, underripe pineapple freshness, Marcona almond, toasted sesame, chalky chunks have absorbed the smoke, and fallen citrus celebrates its rebirth. Lemon pith that oozes lemon skin oils like dewdrop diamonds. Incredible minerality that crystallizes into spines of grapefruit, dandelion, dried gooseberry, and marigold. Shiny, bright, crystal clean, and revelatory. Amazing compilation of parts that remains suspended like a chandelier in ethereal weightlessness.

Peche de vigne, white peach, big time.
Intensity but big minerality and salinity too which makes it last and stand.
A super classic and quite bold chassagne-montrachet, very pleasant may be lacking a bit of sharpness.

Fifth day open: roasted plums, cherries, jasmine, black tea, saddle leather. Nebbiolo-like and balsamic, yet it's immediately recognizable as Pinot. Another example of how '15 offers Cote-de-Beaune reds that are as good as they can possibly be. #chassagnemontrachet #pinotnoir — 9 years ago
slate, great acidity, subtle honey notes, caramelized orange peel #chassagnemontrachet #winetasting — 9 years ago
Seemed less disjointed than the last time I tasted this #chassagnemontrachet oaky on the nose but lemony and simple on the palate. #burgundy #blanc — 10 years ago
A big boy, the vintage and vineyard are on full display here. The nose is tremendously expressive and generous, with apple, ripe citrus, a mineral core with hints of rosemary and smoke. The palate is generous too, deeply flavored but with good mineral and acid cut. The finish is really long, with fresh white orchard fruits and a lingering rosemary note. #chassagnemontrachet #gagnard #chardonnay — 10 years ago
