"Tasted blind at the annual 'Burgfest' tasting in Bouilland. The 2013 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos Saint Marc, which was bottled under DIAM, has a sophisticated, mineral-driven bouquet that is detailed and focused, almost Puligny-like in style. I like the slight reduction here. The palate is clean and fresh on the entry. The oak is well integrated here and it fans out with a confident lemongrass and stem ginger-infused finish that is just very Chassagne-like. Excellent. Tasted May 2016."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
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.
2013 in Burgundy was a difficult, cool and hail-hit year with a late harvest and small crop; the wines are fresh, lean and classically styled, with bright acidity and firm structure, especially the 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.
