  Understandable the difference in opinions on this wine, very unusual, but I like it, alot. It’s got great weight, complexity of flavours, the fruit is perfectly ripe, herbs like dried fennel and oregano, and some lanolin. Good length. Interesting and moreish.

  6/8/2023 - Nicthebuilder Likes this wine: 90 Points

  Funky nose of damp earth, old wardrobe, hot asphalt.
  Silky tannins, palate is full of ripe dark forest fruits, boysenberry and plum sauce, Coca Cola concentrate, baked figs and dates.
  Long finish.
  What an interesting and delicious wine, perfect now may hold longer but not worth the risk.

  Big, tannic, dark black and red berry fruit, a bit of nail polish on the finish. I wouldn’t pick this as a Pinot let alone Burgundy. Loads of respect for Caroline but I feel Chassagne Montrachet should leave all its available land for the Chardonnay. It’s a really good wine and has all the signs of something that will age well for years, but it’s quite anonymous and will take many years to be delicious once those tannins settle.
