  Giuseppe's (Scottsdale, AZ): Quite advanced and a bit oxidative, which is possibly reflective and a manifestation of the warm vintage, but not without requisite freshness. There is just enough acidity to hold the deeply pitched grilled lemon and bruised citrus flavors in proper focus; an additional butterscotch note adds interest, dimension, and depth, but also intensifies the sense of an more-aged bottle. For my tastes, and even though I’m not completely confident this still doesn’t have some further integrating to do, I would drink sooner than later.

  Another Grand Tasting in Arizona! (Guiseppe's in Scottsdale): PnP - A very nice Chardonnay from Burgundy. A very nice wine that started off our tasting. I actually enjoyed this wine a lot, and had a couple pours. It showed citrus and seashell notes on the nose, and plenty of rich, creamy, buttery notes on the palate, coupled with lemon custard, and minerality in the form of oysters and chalk. The sweet toasted oak also was present, and not yet fully integrated, but also not detracting from the wine. A lovely white Burgundy! 91+ for my palate and thoroughly enjoyable!

  C+K's housewarming party (Chicago, IL): Outstanding village-level chardonnay that shows plenty of noble reduction, but also a kiss of oak. Good richness and depth on the palate, without going overboard on the oak. Clearly the product of a ripe and fat vintage, but these are holding up just so well. Yet another bottle that confirms to me how magnificent the 2015 white Burgundy vintage is.

  Man I just love Chassagne... And for a village level 2015 this really was top tier!
  
  So much great tension on the nose with popcorn kernels being roasted in butter, mazarin cake, ripe orchard fruits and some citrus fruits sneaking through as well.
  
  The ripe fruit of 2015 was definitely the main factor of the palate with apple, peach, tropical fruits and some pickled lemon. There was also a touch of the mazarin cake again a bit of clove/baking spices. But unlike the Dauvissat from 2015 this had such an alluring acidity from ripe but not overripe citrus fruits and a slight green apple touch while still having the balance and weight and creamy texture and a very long-lasting finish.

  Improved compared to the last one in April 2020: the wood is better integrated, there is citrus and white orchard fruit, pretty rich, with just enough acidity to balance. A good bottle which is ready for consumption.
