"From a 0.3 ha parcel of 30+ year old vines on the Chassagne side, situated just below Montrachet, 7 barrels are usually produced . . . . Even with 10 years of age, the striking and beautifully elegant nose remains exceptionally fresh if no longer youthful with its complex floral, green apple and white peach aromas that are followed by complex, classy and refined medium-bodied plus flavors that are unusually well-detailed and precise, particularly on the citrus-infused finish that cuts like a hot knife through butter. There is also more minerality than is typical with this wine and the balance is such that it should continue to drink well . . . . I very much like the mouthfeel as the palate coating sap imparts a highly seductive character. Note that this is already drinking well but could probably benefit from another year or three of bottle age. In brief, this is quite simply terrific."
