Tasting notes
Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting, Girardin's 2014 Chassagne Montrachet les Chaumées 1er Cru has a clean, precise, minerally bouquet with pleasant chalk dust aromas filtering through the citrus fruit. I admire the definition and focus of this 2014. The palate is very well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, demonstrating judicious use of oak that allows the terroir to shine through on the finish. There is something "commercial" about this Chassagne-Montrachet but you would still finish a bottle.

Full bright yellow. Musky aromas of yellow peach, honey, stone and brown spices, plus a whiff of menthol. Rich and fat but with good reserve; showing little easy sweetness to its flavors of rocks and lime. Developed some exotic hints with time in the glass but has solid supporting minerality.
