Tasting notes
The 2016 Chassagne Montrachet Le Concis du Champs had a tightly wound, wet clay-scented bouquet that needed a lot of encouragement from the glass. The palate is straightforward with a slightly waxy texture, moderate depth but missing some tension and detail toward the finish. I wanted to like this more but found this lacking tension and energy compared to Olivier Lamy's other 2016s at this stage.

More reviews and scores
(12.2% alcohol chaptalized to 12.8%; picked at the beginning of the harvest; the small berries here typically yield a high-pH wine): Bright pale yellow. Brisk aromas of pear, peach, lemon drop and white flowers. Juicy, spicy and moderately ripe, showing a distinctly green, minty quality in the middle palate. Finishes slightly hard-edged.
