Goedhuis, February 2023
Very reserved aromatically, but on the palate the opening salvo is bright, fresh and dynamic, with flavours of citrussy sorbet and sherbet. The wine unfolds across the palate, expressing a silkiness in texture and finishes with notes of blood orange and freshly whipped cream.

The 2021 Chassagne-Montrachet Clos Saint-Jean 1er Cru comes from 2.5-hectares at the top of the vineyard (Pinot Noir and Chardonnay). This has a more backward nose, quite a lot of extract here, slightly nutty and Meursault-like. The palate is medium-bodied with a little more flesh, dried honey and peach skin, a little white pepper and veins of ginger towards the finish. Excellent. Drink 2024-2036

Mid lemon yellow, one of the more exotic noses. This continues on the palate but with an excellent thread of acidity. Still some floral notes all round and very good length. Leaves a very attractive aftertaste but I prefer the classicism of Champgains. Drink from 2025-2030.

Third generation wine growers, Paul began managing the family domaine in 1968, taking over from his father, Henri. It was his father that decided to begin bottling their own wines after the First World War. Paul further developed the domaine by increasing the family's vineyard holdings with various Chassagne Montrachet Premier Crus - many located on the well-draining top slope positions.The domaine now boasts a respectable 13 hectares from which they produce 15 wines. Today, Paul's oldest son Thierry has taken over the majority of winemaking responsibilities and hasdone so over the past few vintages. According to Paul, Thierry has a sort of ‘sixth sense' way ofdoing things which has only enhanced the wines' innate qualities. All we know is that they aredelicious and truly display a magical attribute that can only come from a master.Read less

Chassagne Montrachet
The white wines of Chassagne Montrachet can be difficult to distinguish from Puligny. At their most typical they are slightly fleshier and more hedonistic, but are often just as mineral and refined making the two almost inseparable. When distinguishable, they offer notes of honeysuckle, lime blossom and honey. Many have become quite approachable when young. It is larger than Puligny with vineyards totalling over 330 hectares. Though it shares both the grand cru vineyards of Le Montrachet and Bâtard Montrachet, it has sole ownership of the miniscule Criots Bâtard Montrachet. Similar to Puligny, Chassagne also grows Pinot Noir, which can be austere when young. A small amount of red Chassagne is also made.
