Tank sample. Horribly heavy bottle. Stony/dusty citrus. Tight, juicy lemon fruit but quite simple. Clean, zesty and with decent intensity on the mid palate. Needs time to gain complexity. (JH)

The 2018 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Chaumées 1er Cru has a simple, smoke and flint-scented bouquet. The palate is balanced and primal, but does not quite get to grips with the terroir. The finish feels just a little predictable.

Notes of smoky reduction presently dominate the underlying fruit though it again seems ripe. More interesting are the medium-bodied flavors that possess both good energy and freshness while offering a step up in volume on the attractively textured finish that is delivers sneaky good length. This could use a bit more overall depth, but it should develop it if allowed at least a few years of bottle age. Drink 2024+
