En Primeur | 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.

Please note: due to high demand, online purchases of 2019 Burgundies are limited to 1 case of each wine. For more information please contact your account manager or wine@goedhuis.com

    Goedhuis, December 2020

    This lower lying village parcel is bottled separately to show off its unique character and position next to the mighty Criots Bâtard Grand Cru. A fuller and more concentrated style, this has flavours of quince and lime with a touch of freshly buttered toast from the oak. Subtle power with a bright, energetic finish.

    Neighbouring Maltroie, but always delivering such a different style, this Champgains is a brilliant golden-yellow colour, with honeyed fruit flavours and hints of vanilla. An intensely concentrated wine with a touch of toffee and a gentle acid freshness on the finish.

    This is an exquisite example of Chassagne Montrachet from nine different lieux dits in the appellation. Bright pure citrus fruits, this has a mineral intensity balanced with flavours of honeysuckle and fresh cream. Very pure and very long.

    Pretty mid yellow, lighter nose, but there is a good tight concentration of fruit behind, and I like the balance with good tension, and a long finish. Well made, at a manageable 13.2% alcohol. 3 stars

    A very appealing and approachable style. Bright characters of lemon and lime fruits, with a hint of white peach on the palate. Fresh and pure, this is designed for earlier drinking, while there is a touch of stone fruit richness on the finish.

    Goedhuis, December 2020

    These vines in Caillerets’ chalky, stony soil are some of the domaine’s oldest at 78 years old. A slightly more powerful and less mineral Caillerets than some years, perhaps a reflection of the lower yields in 2019. Intense and hugely flavoursome, with notes of fresh croissant and Jersey cream. The chalky minerality on the finish gives an added lift to this high-class wine.

    Located up on the hill towards St Aubin, Les Chaumées has sublime aromatics of camomile, jasmine and a touch of acacia honey. Very graceful as it flows through the palate and the touch of freshly baked baguette gives additional nuance on the finish.

    Light in colour with rather an elegant nose, a stylish Chaumées, quite delicately nuanced, a lighter, but fine style of Chassagne. Good length and persistence here. Very attractive. 3 stars

    Goedhuis, Decemeber 2020

    Fairendes is a lieu dit within the better known Premier Cru of Morgeot and the Coffinets bottle this plot separately. They feel it is more graceful and poised, and that its unique quality would be lost if bottled with other parcels. A balance between creamy rich texture and bright mineral freshness. With flavours of clementine and ripe citrus fruits, this is a wonderfully discreet style. A very special wine.

    The position of this vineyard high on the hillside of Chassagne helps maintain an excellent freshness in this wine. Very aromatic with scents of fresh clotted cream and honeysuckle. On the palate there are rich flavours of brioche and crème caramel, but it is also very bright and lively. A rewarding style.

    Goedhuis, December 2020

    La Maltroie is a Premier Cru that always makes an impact, characterised by its breadth and generous fruit. Initially more subtle than in some years, it unfurls into a glorious profusion of flavours. Fresh clotted cream and cracked hazelnuts. Intensity, layered, full and very long.

  • JAM

    Score: 91-93

    Mid lemon and lime with a mix of fruit and barrel notes. This is a very good example of Maltroie because the fruit rapidly takes the upper hand, whereas this vineyard can be a little neutral. There is a light lemon touch here, from the balanced acidity. Decent length. 4 stars

    Morgeot is a large Premier Cru comprising a number of small sub-climats. The emphasis is always on power and intensity and Les Grands Clos is one of its finest sites. Hints of Seville orange and freshly squeezed lime mingle with brioche and nuts. Very structured with a bright finish.

    The Premier Cru Morgeot typically produces a relatively generous style of Chassagne with ample fruit content. This is a fine example with hints of frangipane and toasted brioche. Very good ripeness and high-class finish.

    Goedhuis, December 2020

    Morgeot is the largest Premier Cru in the Côte d’Or at 58 hectares, surpassing even Clos Vougeot (51 hectares). Unsurprisingly therefore, there is a huge variety of styles and quality levels, but Bruno’s always shines as one of the very best. Light lemon colour, this wine has an arresting mineral limestone freshness. It combines finesse with richness, layered flavours of lemon, mandarin and buttered croissant. Delicious.

    Tough and sinewy with concentrated fruit and a very long finish, this is a grand wine with a powerful stance and it will age well, too. More red-shaped in terms of its skin-derived ‘tannic’ grip on the finish, this is a macho, structure Chassagne and it will fall into balance within four years.

    Pale lemon colour. The nose is a little bit more backward here, altogether tighter. A mix of lemons and yellow plums, actually not as powerful an example of Morgeot as sometimes, reflecting that these hotter vintages are lightening up this sector. 3 stars

    Sitting just below Bâtard Montrachet Grand Cru, this is such a highly regarded lieu dit. Slightly closed on the nose, although unsurprising given its tight structure. On the palate the wine opens up to show flavours of lemon zest, frangipane and nougat. Great weight. This is a top-class village cuvée.

    The 2019 Chassagne-Montrachet Enseigneres has a fresh, well defined bouquet with gentle orange blossom and light passion fruit aromas, a little mintiness in the background. The palate is nicely balanced with good concentration from the opening, moderate acidity, harmonious with a fresh, orange rind and quince-tinged finish. A very capable Chassagne to enjoy over the next decade. 2022-2032

    Clear pale lemon with an incisive lightly reductive nose. This starts leaner than expected, but soon fills out into a soft plump pillow of fruit, soft pears, but then the tension returns with some warmth too. The aromatics are not over-ripe and I did not pick the high alcohol level here. No doubt about the concentration, nor length and there is just enough acidity. 4 stars

    A relatively unknown Premier Cru towards St Aubin, Les Vergers always stands out in Bruno’s cellar. Always super-aromatic, the 2019 has a beguiling mix of basil, lime and Seville orange. Harmonious and sinuous, with a touch of hazelnut. The bright grapefruit lift on the finish gives focus and zip.

    This has not quite fallen clear yet. A little bit of toast appears in the bouquet, followed by more concentrated greener fruit. There is adequate concentration on the palate and correct oak balance, with decent length. 3 stars

    Coming after such a stellar list of whites it is easy to overlook Bruno’s red Chassagne but do so at your peril! Made with 45-year-old vines from four separate lieux dits, this is exemplary Chassagne Rouge and offers such great value. In 2019 this is packed with juicy berries and rich black fruits. Bold on the palate, with a hint of liquorice and freshly roasted coffee beans. Good length, appetising and moreish.
