Décevant vu le producteur. Attaque ronde, facile à boire, assez gras, mais c’est un peu mou et surtout, c’est court. Les amis ont plus aimé que moi, peut-être parce qu’ils n’avaient pas d’attentes. 87-88

Très réduit à l’ouverture, un peu moins quelques heures plus tard, encore moins le lendemain. Ça demeure toutefois assez fermé, peu expressif, et pas encore équilibré.
Agree with prior reviews including beeswax, pear and apple. Initially tight and linear with noticeable spearmint that resolves. Overall an interesting village. Will hold my remaining bottles for a few more years.

Un peu trop boisé en l’état, il a besoin de temps pour intégrer ça. Mais l’équilibre y est, c’est assez mûr avec des arômes de pêche et de melon. La finalement est saline et harmonieuse. 89+ pts

Tung's Birthday (Monkey Year Wines) (Aoki Restaurant, Shaw House, Singapore): Very impressive for a straight village. The nose was still really youthful - with shades of reductiveness and more than a fair share of new oak; but there was a nice Chassagne character beneath that, with notes of yellow pear, some preserved lines, maybe a touch of beeswax, and then some spice and mineral shades. Very nice. The palate was very impressive, with a nice depth and roundness to its honeyed pear and white apple flesh flavours, these wed to a lovely sense of lithe freshness lent to it by lovely lemony acidity and a good streak of mineral that ran from the midpalate all the way into satisfyingly long, creamy finish with just a hint of spiciness. This had really lovely depth and balance for a village Chassagne. Young still - but it will grow up into a really solid wine. I would love to have this again in the next 2-3 years.
