2023 Chassagne Montrachet Les Chaumees

The 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Chaumées 1er Cru comes from two parcels plus the younger vines from Clos St. Abdon. It has a well-defined and finely delineated bouquet featuring citrus peel, crushed stone and grilled hazelnut. The palate has a harmonious, smooth texture, with yellow fruit and fennel notes. It's linear toward the finish and perhaps not quite as ambitious as the Chaumées last year, but this is still well crafted.
