95 AM ...powerful and very dense, massively scaled, sappy flavors that reveal layer after layer of complexity and depth. 95+ ST ". . . iodine, menthol, clove and smoky oak. Fat, chewy and superconcentrated, but also wonderfully smooth and suave. The racy acids of the vintage give this very rich Montrachet great life in the mouth. Offers terrific power, concentration and consistency of texture, not to mention palate-staining persistence. A great early showing for this wine."

Chassagne-Montrachet is a village AOC in Burgundy's Cote de Beaune with numerous Premier Crus, renowned above all for rich, nutty, mineral Chardonnay whites, though it also makes firm Pinot Noir reds.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
