2012 Chassagne Montrachet Boudriotte

The 2012 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Boudriotte is very charming, with a lovely bouquet of lime zest, ripe pear, wheat toast and creamy new oak. On the palate, the wine is glossy and quite open knit, with nice integration and decent acidity. Right now, this doesn't look like a long-distance runner, and it's actually surprisingly reminiscent of the 2009 rendition, despite 2012 and 2009 being very different vintages.
