Tasting notes
The 2014 ChassagneMontrachet 1er Cru les Baudines has a curiously Meursault-like bouquet, thanks to a tincture of hazelnut and smoke that evolves with aeration. The palate is very well balanced with a keen thread of acidity, lively and saline in the mouth with a twist of citrus lemon on the focused finish. I like the bitter edge here. This is a lovely Chassagne-Montrachet.

Barrel sample. Quite like Chenevottes but 50m higher and a bit more clayey. Ripens about a week later than Chenevottes. The Morgeot of altitude – power and finesse. Back to wonderful texture and round satin layer on the nervy expression of Chassagne. Spicy and shows very well. Great transparency. Refined. Very appetising. (JR)
Bright, pale yellow. Aromas of yellow plum and lemon. At once tactile and juicy in the mouth, showing superb definition and chewy minerality to the lemon and floral flavors. Still youthfully tight but finishes savory, perfumed and long, with excellent lift. This cool, high site typically does very well in the warmer years, noted Colin-Morey.
