2020 Chassagne Montrachet Les Vides Bourses

The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Vide-Bourses 1er Cru is focused and tensile on the nose, with clementine, quince and blood orange aromas. A crushed stone element reluctantly emerges with aeration. Indeed, returning after 20 minutes, the aromatics have cohered beautifully. The palate is well-balanced with a harmonious entry. There are peach and mango touches, but you could not describe this as a tropical Chassagne like Girardin's Les Blanchots Dessus. Perhaps not a long-term Chassagne, but it has easygoing charm. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.
