Tasting notes
The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Chaumées 1er Cru shows a little reduction on the nose, touches of hazelnut and struck flint, opening nicely in the glass and gaining more intensity. The palate is taut and nimble, fresh and saline, more elegant than the Les Macherelles but without the same horsepower towards the finish. Still, it will drink well for 12-15 years.

Planted at 20,000 vines per hectare but not yet deemed mature enough to merit the "Haute Densité" moniker on the label, Lamy's 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Chaumées is his best to date from this site, bursting with aromas of pear, citrus zest, smoke and freshly baked bread. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered, it's deep and concentrated, with racy acids, chalky structuring extract and a long, saline finish.
