Tasting notes
The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet Village seems to have gained richness in recent months. It feels a little subdued at first, yet it doesn't take more than 20 minutes to reveal enticing orange zest and apricot scents, gaining delineation with time. The palate has broadened as well. Not amazingly complex, after all, it is not a Premier Cru, yet it has a clinical finish and sapidity that drags you back for another sip. You could drink this now, though it will give another decade of drinking pleasure.

The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet Village has a wonderful bouquet with orange blossom and light citrus scents, fine mineralité coming through with aeration. The palate is well-balanced with impressive weight, quite steely on the finish with just the right amount of bitter edge to keep you returning. Is this really a Premier Cru dressed up in a Village Cru label? If you are hesitant to buy this wine, don't be.
The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet Blanc delivers aromas of honeyed orchard fruit, orange oil, pear, fresh hazelnuts and nutmeg. Medium to full-bodied, layered and textural, it's bright and elegantly chalky, with lively acids and a nicely defined finish.
