2018 Domaine Génot-Boulanger Chassagne-Montrachet Les Vergers 1er Cru

From two parcels, the 2018 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Vergers 1er Cru has a generous bouquet of slightly smudged honey and clementine aromas, touches of tropical fruit emerging with time in the glass. The palate is well balanced with a slightly viscous opening and good concentration, although it needs a touch more nervosité toward the finish. Perhaps shaped by the warmth of the growing season, this is nevertheless a fine Chassagne.
