Note di degustazione
Tasted blind at the annual “Burgfest” tasting in Bouilland. The 2013 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Chenevottes has a somewhat muted bouquet at the moment with dried honey, tertiary and beeswax scents, without quite the joie-de-vivre I was hoping for. The palate is quite rich and rounded on the entry, the texture more viscous than its peers, lower in acidity with a plush and lightly honeyed finish. I noticed that this actually improves with aeration; it loses some of its richness and gains more precision in the process and may warrant a higher score with a couple more years in bottle. Tasted May 2016.

Pale yellow with green highlights. Piquant aromas and flavors of nectarine, pineapple, lime, minerals and cinnamon reminded me of an Alsace Riesling. At once dense and brisk in the mouth but showing less easy sweetness than the Maltroie owing to its spicy lift and firm underlying structure. A distinctly classic style for the vintage, this dry, taut wine will need time in the cellar.
Salty-citrus aroma. A touch more oak flavour on the palate, creamy/oatmeal lees-oak effect too, but the fruit can take it. Energetic, mouthwatering and long. GV (JH)
(Colin has several parcels, with an average age of about 45 years): Bright, pale yellow. Ripe pear, citrus fruit, pepper and spicy oak on the nose, plus a whiff of lichee. Richer and riper than the Chaumees, offering a chewier impression to its white peach and pear flavors. More pristine in the mouth than on the nose, thanks to lovely racy acidity. Finishes with good energy and length.
