Les Chenevottes Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Chardonnay

2010 vintage. Very lean style (that is becoming fashionable), and while it is certainly a very good wine, I feel a bit more opulence wouldn't harm here.

It’s good to have options

Needs time to breathe but once it is open for a few, quite delicious.

🏅 Rating: 94/100 (4,4🌟)

PYCM 2015 Horizontal

Pronounced aroma intensity with a fine citrus top-line. Flinty mineral. Fills the mouth with considered energy and a very nice complexity. Super finishing flavour, discreetly long and mouth-watering.

Own vineyards in the same section of Chassagne as Les Champs Gains. Very difficult to choose between these two, but Chenevottes to my taste is 1-inch behind in this 2015 PYCM tasting.

From 375ml. Unbelievably good right now.

Near perfect expression of top-tier Chassagne/Chardonnay on the nose, but lacking enough acid to make this a all-around compelling wine.

grande Bouteille, nez magnifique de pierre à fusil et puissance, longueur superbe en bouche.

Two thumbs up.

2006 vintage. Vibrant nose of smoke and toasted hazelnut, Shaw’s a bit of the challenges of the vintage interns of follow through on the palate

2010 vintage is crazy good
