Bouchard Pere et Fils, Chassagne Montrachet 2014

By -

The 2014 Chassagene-Montrachet from Bouchard Pere et Fils is surprisingly good. The nose offer fresh, pure and crystal clear white fruit – very refined for a generic Chassagne with a nice detailed minerality. On the palate focused and vibarnt with a lot of energy. Really like the fresh refinement in this wine .. very focused and airy for the appellation. Love the 2014 whites.

Vins d’émotion – wines that offer joy and hedonistic thrills

The principle with vins d’émotion is that they bring you extraordinary joy and hedonistic thrills.  A wine can be great, and at the same time not quite be a vin d’émotion.

All wines that evoke these emotional responses deserve a recommendation, and I have created four levels of emotional recommendation: from the true and rare vin d’émotion to wines with some emotional potential.

A true vin d’émotion – a Burgundy of passion

A truly hedonistic wine – lively and enjoyable

A vivacious wine for pure indulgance

A wine with a emotional potential
