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

The view from Blanchots Dessus in Chassagne-Montrachet... from the left Le Montrachet, Bâtard-Montrachet, and Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet... Mecca for Chardonnay. I think time stopped and choirs of angels sang for just a moment after my first sip... this is glorious... White peach meets lemon meringue and it’s beautiful. And in the second act, fresh apple meets spiced butterscotch. Ethereal but dense. Intense but elegant. Probably the best white I’ve had in years.

Une touche réduite au nez au départ, menthe ensuite, fruits blancs, grande classe et élégance tout comme en bouche, ce vin a tout, un équilibre exemplaire entre cette acidité appuyée et une belle rondeur et richesse. Quelle longueur aussi. Il se bonifie dans le verre après quelques heures de dégustation, magnifique. 93-94
A touch or reduction to begin with but dissipates with time, white orchard fruit, mint, great class and elegance for tht nose just like the perfectly balanced, rich, crisp and lengthy palate. Great wine.
