2022  Chassagne-Montrachet 1er En Cailleret

From a 0.65 hectare parcel near the top of the slope south of the village, of which the upper part is the steepest vineyard in Chassagne. Vines planted 1985-1990. Aged 15 months in 228 and 350 L oak barrels, 35% new. ---- "A mild suggestion of the exotic can be found on the aromas of white peach, wet stone, honeysuckle and a hint of spice. There is better underlying tension to the more detailed and markedly more mineral-driven flavors that are quite sleek before culminating in a sneaky long, balanced and dry-in-the-best sense finale. Lovely and one to consider." - Outstanding, Burghound ---- "A faint lime green touch in the colour. The bouquet has a chiselled mineral quality, along with a touch of positive reduction as well. Strict on the limestone with an excellent intensity without any heaviness, perfectly judged. Delicately ripe finish. Drink from 2029-2036. Tasted Oct 2023." - 4/5 stars, Jasper Morris MW

2021  Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Les Caillerets

Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Les Caillerets ---- "A spicier nose freely reveals its aromas of both white and yellow peach and a whiff of jasmine tea. Here too there is very good mid-palate density to the medium weight flavors that aren't quite as powerful though they are finer and more mineral-driven as well on the youthfully austere, more complex and slightly more persistent finish. Lovely and I especially like the balance that should permit this to age gracefully over the next decade." - Outstanding, Burghound

2020  Chassagne-Montrachet

"This is also sufficiently ripe to partially display fruit from the yellow side of the spectrum along with spice, citrus confit and floral scents. The rich and solidly concentrated medium-bodied flavors are at once succulent yet nicely detailed while delivering impressive persistence on the balanced and youthfully austere finale. Once again, more depth would be beneficial but again, that should reasonably occur. In a word, lovely." - 92pts/Outstanding, Burghound

2021  Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge

Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge ---- "A lovely plot to work says Marjolaine, providing an ethereal style of pinot. Certainly, there is nothing massive, even less brutish, about this. Instead, a charming light raspberry perfume, all in finesse. There is that tensile thread here, that speaks of high quality, in this fine and understated wine with impressive persistence. Approachable quite soon but with a good potential to last and improve. Drink from 2025-2030. Tasted Oct 2022." - 4/5 stars, Jasper Morris MW

2023  Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru

2023  Chassagne-Montrachet

2022  Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru

Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru ---- "Here too there is just enough wood to merit pointing out framing the fresh and airy aromas of white flower, pear, apple and discreet spice wisps. There is even better volume to the caressing and enveloping medium weight plus flavors that possess focused power on the impressively long and very dry finale. This is a wine that should repay 6 to 8 years of keeping." - Burghound

2023  Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Les Fairendes

Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Les Fairendes ---- "Mid lemon yellow, almost a green tint. Slightly reductive but still with some flesh behind. Young vines here, planted in 2018, but that doesn’t stop the elegance. Lively, floral, a little lime blossom, no great weight but beautifully balanced in pure white fruit. A small crop as they have just switched this to guyot poussard pruning. Drink from 2027-2033. Tasted Nov 2024." - 91-94pts & 4/5 stars, Jasper Morris MW

2021  Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Les Fairendes

Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Les Fairendes ---- "A discreet application of wood sets off aromas of olive oil and a vague suggestion of the exotic. There is impressive richness to the opulent and generous medium-bodied flavors that coat the palate with sappy dry extract while delivering excellent length on the compact, serious and powerful finish. This is a typical Morgeot of power and richness though without the usual rusticity." - Burghound

2022  Chassagne-Montrachet

Archaeological findings confirm the ancient village of Chassagne used to be occupied by a Roman society. The Romans planted the vines and built the city, hence the name "Romanée." From a 0.81 hectare parcel of vines planted in 1957 at a higher altitude of Chassagne, protected from the north wind by a stand of trees. Aged 15 months in 228 and 350 L oak barrels, 35% new. ---- "Here too there is the barest suggestion of the exotic lurking in the background of more floral-suffused aromas of Granny Smith apple, spice and a similar hint of wet stone. The middleweight flavors are not as concentrated but they are noticeably finer, particularly on the overtly stony, chiseled, youthfully austere and superbly long finale. This excellent effort will also need to develop more depth but that should merely be a matter of exercising a bit of patience." - Sweet Spot Outstanding, Burghound ---- "Mid lemon yellow. The bouquet shows an extra degree of ripe fruit, and a little less the limestone freshness of Caillerets. This is more backward, with an additional intensity, significantly so. Grows across the palate, still fresh limestone to finish, but with an extra éclat. Drink from 2029-2036. Tasted Oct 2023." - 4/5 stars, Jasper Morris MW
