Tasting notes
Very pale, bright yellow. Subdued nose hints at lime blossom and metallic minerality. Juicy, intense and penetrating, showing terrific precision and cut to its flavors of minerals, lemon oil and yellow flowers. A bit youthfully bound-up today--in fact, this may already be shutting down in the bottle--but concentrated, fine-grained and light on its feet, finishing with a suggestion of honey and solid extract.

Introvert nose of green foliage. Hint of putty. Lots tucked in here. Promising. Lots to chew on for the moment. (JR)
The 2014 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru les Vergers has a composed bouquet with very well integrated new oak: cold stone, hazelnut and smoke lending a Meursault-like personality. The palate is full of energy on the entry with dried orange peel and nectarine notes, good weight in the mouth with a pleasing fresh ginger-tinged finish. You could not ask for much more from a Les Vergers.
