Tasting notes
The 2015 Chassagne Montrachet les Ancegnieres, which was taken from barrel, has a clean and crisp nose that perhaps lacks the "sparkle" of its village cru counterparts in Saint-Aubin. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity, quite brisk and lively with a touch of lemongrass towards the grainy finish. It actually finishes better than it begins, although it needs a tad more persistence in the mouth.

(13.4% alcohol; from deep, rich soil below Batard-Montrachet): Bright yellow-green. Very pure, high-pitched aromas of lime and mint. Very rich, fat and slightly warm but with a firmness to its citrus fruit and caraway seed flavors (still a bit of malic acidity remaining?). Comes across as somewhat aggressive following Colin's Saint-Aubin wines. Hard to assess today. Colin normally harvests this vineyard first but not in 2015, as it was raining on the morning of September 1.
