2012 Chassagne Montrachet La Romanee

Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2012 tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru La Romanée has a pretty nose with citrus fruit, yellow plum, baking powder and mineral scents that are all nicely combined. The palate is fresh, poised and demonstrated good weight, perhaps more backward than its peers and therefore needing a little more cohesion. However, there is impressive matière in this wine and with two or three more years in the cellar could evolve into an enticing proposition. This is a great Chassagne-Montrachet from the Domaine.
