Tasting notes
The 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru La Romanée is the most reductive wine in the range, unwinding in the glass with aromas of crisp stone fruits, apple blossom, toasted almonds and struck match. Medium to full-bodied, dense and concentrated, its satiny attack segues into a layered, structured mid-palate, girdled by racy acids, and concluding with a long, chalky finish.

70-year-old vines. Cask sample. Mid lemon. Intense apple, pear and white flowers. Full-bodied with great volume and concentration. Chalky, mineral Chassagne typicality. Balanced, zesty acidity and a certain ripe opulence. Fine. (MH)
The 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet La Romanée 1er Cru has a more discrete nose than the La Grande Montagne due to a very minor reduction. The palate is also showing a little reduction (it will be racked in the future). But there is plenty of weight and tension in this Chassagne, perhaps one cuvée that will require longer in bottle.
