2015 Chassagne Montrachet Les Chenevottes

The 2015 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Chenevottes, which sees 25% new oak, came across reserved and recalcitrant on the nose despite coaxing. The palate has a pleasant sour lemon note on the entry, good depth of fruit, but here I just found the finish to be a little smudged compared to some of the razor-sharp Saint Aubins from the domaine. Good, but this is for early drinking rather than long cellaring.
