Tasting notes
Bright, pale lemon-yellow. Pear drop and white flowers on the nose. Supple, sweet, easygoing wine with just enough limey, appley acidity for balance. The slightly bitter-edged citrussy finish shows good persistence but leaves this wine a bit disjointed in the early going.

The 2015 Chassagne-Montrachet Villages is more successful than its Meursault counterpart this year. It has a pleasant, simple, tropical-tinged bouquet with wild honey and brioche scents developing. The palate is well balanced with a soft, slightly yeasty entry with good acidity and fine salinity on the finish. This comes recommended.
About the producer
Louis Jadot is arguably the most consistent négociant house in Burgundy. It has managed to straddle both the entry-level and fine wine market, while retaining respect in both.
