Tasting notes
Subtle aroma with just a hint of cedary lime fruit and celery seed. Tastes almost as if there was a touch of residual sugar here to balance the crisp acidity. Quite full in the mouth but something (sulphur?) is making me sneeze. (And the man next to me. Very bizarre.) A bit flat on the finish. Has this been recently sulphured? (JH)

The 2015 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Vergers is more expressive than the Chenevottes, a mixture of citrus fruit and waxy aromas, a hint of white chocolate underneath. The palate is fresh on the entry, more taut and linear than the Chenevottes, gently building to a spicy-tinged finish that feels controlled but correct. It does not want to do anything spectacular but that makes this all the better. This comes recommended.
