The Chassagne Montrachet Les Chenevottes is one of the lesser 1. crus from Jean-Noël Gagnard. While not in the same league as Caillerets, Morgeot and Blanchot-Dessus, it’s still a attractive and enjoyable wine. In the bouquet, grapefruit, mango, notes of acacia and white peach. On he palate quite rich and buttery with a good length and minerality. The good midpalate concentration is balanced by a quite zappy acidity. A very good glass of Chassagne.
(Drink from 2018) Very Good – 90p
