Tasting notes
Palish yellow. White peach and wild herbs on the nose. Supple on entry, then strong acidity and limey lift give the middle palate a distinctly austere quality. Finishes brisk, floral and very long. A very strong village wine, but give it a year or three before pulling the cork.

Mid concentration. Just a tad dull. Slightly astringent finish. (JR)
Peach, marmalade and spices on the nose. Deeper and more complex than the village Chassagne, with greater dimension to its stone fruit and spice flavors. Finishes broad, brisk and strong, with an exotic suggestion of yellow fruits. A separately vinified component of older vines, which will be blended in prior to bottling, showed stronger minerality and acidity along with a ripe honey quality.
