Domaine Chanson (Chanson Père et Fils)
Les Chenevottes Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Chardonnay
Chassagne-Montrachet, Côte de Beaune, Burgundy, France
From half bottle. Comes in a bit hot at 14.5%(!) but shows loads of charm gaining weight and complexity with air. Vanilla, butterscotch, lemon oil, and some round tropics. There’s a bitter, pithy note that adds an extra layer of intrigue. Wish the abv. was reined in a bit but this is an awesome wine to dissect after a long day at the office.

Nice tension, bright and zippy style, leaner and sl. redux. Great mineral underpinnings. Solid white burg from an unfamiliar producer.

Amazing layering of flavors. Pure lemon oil/zest. Incredible 1 minute finish. Great.

A perfect bottle of well-balanced Chardonnay. Lemon, oak, butter, fruit: this wine has all the flavors and bouquet you’d expect from a great Chassagne Montrachet.

Thanksgiving wine. Gorgeous gold satiny color. Luscious body. Pineapple, pear, tangerine. Exotic fruits. Some oak. Delicious.
