2020 Chassagne Montrachet Clos St Jean
Buying options
Tasting notes
As was the case in 2017, the 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos Saint-Jean has turned out especially well this year. Bursting with aromas of pear, freshly baked bread, orange oil and beeswax and framed by a deft touch of reduction, it's medium to full-bodied, ample and satiny, its fleshy core of fruit girdled by tangy acids.

Picked on 26th August at13.5% alcohol. Clean and clear cut with some lime blossom notes. The white Clos St-Jean has a thick texture of ripe fruit on the palate, though with some fresh energy and with medium class. Tasted Oct 2021.
