2016 Chassagne Montrachet La Grande Montagne

The 2016 Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru les Grands Montagne comes from vines planted in 1991. It has a slightly broody nose that needed coaxing from the glass and I felt that it did not quite convey the same personality as some of the domaine's better 2016 premier crus. The palate is rounded and slightly honeyed in texture, moderate acidity with hints of white chocolate and coconut on the sweet and quite seductive finish armed with just the right amount of salinity. This may merit a higher score with bottle age.
