Tasting notes
The 2018 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Chaumées is especially good this year, and Lamy tells me that he has started rolling the canopies in this parcel instead of hedging them. Offering up aromas of fresh peach, citrus oil and pear, as well as delicate top notes of white flowers, it's full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with a layered, enveloping profile and a long mineral finish. This might well be the best Chaumées that Lamy has produced to date.

The 2018 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Chaumées 1er Cru is usually picked one day before the Macherelles. This has more precision and mineralité on the nose compared to that vineyard, as well as impressive focus. The palate is taut and focused with a fine line of acidity, and quite saline in the mouth, delivering tangible energy toward the finish. Excellent.
