Goedhuis, December 2022
Sitting just below Bâtard Montrachet Grand Cru, this is arguably the village’s most highly regarded lieu-dit. Almost Puligny-esque in style, with limes and quince, extraordinary purity, bright uplifting flavours. Then a degree of the generosity of Chassagne comes into play on the finish, giving richness and depth.

Neal Martin, January 2023, Score: 86-88
The 2021 Chassagne-Montrachet Enseigneres has a fairly austere, crushed stone and apple blossom scented bouquet that gradually unfurls in the glass. The palate has a tiny reduction, but good weight and presence, slightly more extract than expected with decent length. It doesn't quite "take off" like some of Sauzet's other crus this year. Drink 2024-2032.

Jasper Morris MW, December 2022, Score: 88-90
Clean and clear with a more classical bouquet, little white fruits, each stage follows logically across the palate, tense white fruit finish, with the lightest bitterness and then an interesting leafy touch. Some tension, medium weight. Drink from 2024-2028.

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.
