Subtle herbal and cedar notes and a fine oatmeal sweetness from the oak. Rich, deep and still wonderfully fresh. Deep and long with a salty, mouth-watering finish. (JH)
The 2015 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru En Virondot, a bottling that is held in high regard, was showing a lot of reduction on the nose, although Sabine Morey told me that this was usual for this vineyard. The palate has quite a rich opening with lightly honeyed fruit and tropical tones, good weight in the mouth even if it seems to be searching for more tension and energy on the finish. I love the weight in the mouth here, the persistence on the finish, so I am certain that once the reduction issues are addressed this will be one of the domaine's best releases. I will reserve judgement for now.
