Tasted blind. Reduction. Racier and more linear than the 2022 of this wine. Full of lemon, tangello segments. Typical Chassagne for me with lighter citrus fruits like mandarin, tangelo and lemon. Lots of minerality, long puckery, lovely. Left the 2022 for dead. 95

Tasted blind. Reduction. Spearmint nose. Full palate. Lots of reduction and a slight bitterness on the tongue (may be the reduction). Apparently this was picked early and chaptalised. Bitterness eventually disappeared and turned more to grapefruit and richness. 91

Tasted blind. Bright citrus nose. Acid is great, lots of acid. Lovely lifted white fruits and flowers. Lovely wine. Exquisite. 95 - 96.
Plus 1 day. Quite yellow compared to the 21. Very long, intense and layered. Lovely mix of bright lemon, white nectarine and high toned lychee flavours. Long and chewy texture. 95-96

Plus 1 day. Much paler vs the 21. Lemon and lime acid. Tart, high acid, mouth puckering. Almost Riesling like. Better and better as it warms. 94

Tasted blind. Orange citrus nose. A bit rounder on the palate. Nice but a bit too round but I do like the flavour profile. 92
