2013 Chassagne Montrachet Encegnieres

The 2013 Chassagne-Montrachet les Encegnieres, which has a little more new wood than Colin’s other premier crus albeit only at 20%, offers a expressive honeycomb and apricot scents on the bouquet that delivers intensity if not quite the complexity of its fellow premier crus. The palate is comparatively richer in style with lightly honeyed fruit married with good acidity, leading to a weighty finish with plenty of "roundeur." Flattering in style, I would drink this over the next 5 or 6 years.
