Tasting notes
The 2014 Chassagne-Montrachet Village has a pretty bouquet, quite intense for a village cru, scents of citrus lemon, beeswax and a touch of honeysuckle all nicely defined. The palate is missing a little depth on the entry, seems to "skim across the surface" with a rather conservative finish. It's not a bad Chassagne-Montrachet, but it needs more mineralité and personality to evolve in bottle.

A pungent nose combines notes of petrol and resin with those of both white and yellow orchard fruit that are trimmed in all but invisible wood. There is a lovely intensity to the racy and precise middle weight flavors that possess solid depth and length on the ever-so-mildly rustic finale. This is really quite good for a villages Chassagne and worth checking out.
