2020 Domaine Bernard Moreau Chassagne-Montrachet

Light and a little smoky on the nose. Somewhat sweet palate entry. Charming and immediate. I wonder how long it will last? (JR)

Aromas of pear, freshly baked bread, nutmeg and citrus zest preface the 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet Village, a medium to full-bodied, satiny and precise wine that's taut and chalky, with a pretty core of fruit and a long, saline finish. It's the domaine's biggest cuvée, and it shouldn't be overlooked, as it ages very well indeed.

The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet Village had been blended and fined. This is well-defined on the nose with lemon sherbet and light orange zest aromas, a very subtle mineral note that surfaces with time. The palate is well balanced with a hint of quince on the entry, quite taut and linear, plenty of freshness towards with just a very discrete pithiness. A fine Chassagne-Montrachet.
