Goedhuis, December 2019
One of the highest premier cru vineyards in Chassagne, heading towards Santenay, which has flourished in the last half century. A taut vibrant style of white wine, with hints of lime and grapefruit. Refreshing, linear and saline, the fruit opens out in the palate to give some rewarding and ripe tropical flavours on the finish.

Region
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.
