2012 Chassagne Montrachet Rouge

The 2012 Chassagne-Montrachet Village comes from six parcels of vine and sees 40% new oak. The wood shows quite prominently on the nose at the moment, whilst the palate is foursquare, perhaps a little austere and will most likely deserve a year in bottle to get into its stride. This is actually one example where I would have dialed down that new wood. Dec 2013, www.robertparker.com
