Goedhuis, December 2020
A very small parcel within the Grande Montagne and a highly prized plot. Pale straw in colour, this is a very composed wine, full of mineral citrus fruits. It is very layered and the touch of orange peel flavour on the finish adds nuance. Quite lovely.

Wine Advocate, Janaury 2021, Score: 94-96
The 2019 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru La Romanée was showing beautifully, a touch of reduction dissipating in the glass, revealing notes of freshly baked bread, beeswax and nutmeg mingled with Anjour pear, preserved citrus, fresh melon and iodine. Medium to full-bodied, deep and tightly wound, with fine concentration, racy acids and a long, penetrating finish, this is broad-shouldered but tensile, auguring very well for its future evolution.

Racked once, but still reduced. Mid lemon colour. Will need a sight more elevage yet. Huger intensity of fruit in the mouthy, impressive density and with length. A suivre. Outstanding finish though. Will give the benefit of doubt. 4 stars

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.
