  I don,t get the hype on these wines. I tried a 2020 chassagne-montrachet 1er Cru against the White Stones. For me it lacks the depth of flavours and capability of a Burgundy. With the high price point on the Zapata wines and my comparisons with numerous burgundies from village level to 1er Cru bottles I don,t see the value or satisfation in continuing to buy them.

  Reductive nose on first opening. Opened up to ripe pear, peach and green mango. Touches of wet stone and grated ginger. Expansive palate with great freshness and a long biscuit touched finish. Wait on this one ideally.
  
  WSET Notes:
  
  Medium gold.
  
  Pronounced on the nose with struck flint, pear, apricot, green mango, biscuit, cream, wet stone, ginger. Developing.
  
  Pronounced and dry on the palate. Medium plus body, medium alcohol, high acidity, long finish.
  
  Can drink now but has potential for aging.

  Wow what a nose. Notes of apple, minerality, and pear. Great acidity.
