Tasting notes
From shallow soils with just 10 to 20 centimeters of topsoil and vines planted at 20,000 per hectare, Lamy’s 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Chaumées delivers notes of freshly baked bread, pear, peach, orange oil and toasted hazelnuts, mingled with white flowers. Medium- to full-bodied, it is deep and enveloping, with a crisp core of fruit, bright acidity and a long, saline finish.

The 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Chaumées 1er Cru comes from vines more located on the mother limestone than the Les Marcherelles that will be "Haut-Densitée" in the future. The nose is quite intense: hints of yellow fruit, crushed rock and beeswax coming through with aeration. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity. A little more horsepower compared to the Les Marcherelles, this displays fine mineralité and a little more spiciness towards the pleasing finish. Superb.
