my wotn other notes spoke of this fading fast, but for us fragile beautiful fruit mixed with a little tartness, a little salinity and held together beautifully. ok ,there were 9 of us so the bottle went quickly and we did not give it the chance to fade

Chassange - Northside: A subdued and tiring bottle, particularly next to the excellent and vibrant 2010 side-by-side. While the wine has good richness and depth with a nice mineral and orchard fruit interplay, it lacks the vibrance and freshness you'd expect from 2014.

Complex nose, with grilled pineapple, toasted nuts, a touch of reduction and a hint of cream. Satisfying creamy texture to match the nose - it literally feels good in the mouth - and quite a bit of bitterness too; in fact, it's almost tannic - lots of dry extract? Finally, a really long lemon-curdy finish, which accentuates the fruit again.
Philippe's relatively opulent style has worked well with the linear, taut 2014 vintage and has produced a superbly balanced wine. Very delicious, but a bit MOR to be truly great?
Day 2 (second half of bottle) and the wine has coelesced nicely, with some additional aromatic complexity and a greater sense of weight. Very good wine.

After an hour open to air, this is really singing. Crisp apple, meyer lemon, pineapple with soft hints of spice and ginger. Medium to long finish. Worth the $75 tariff. Unfortunately, my last bottle. Has a few years ahead of it, but drinking beautifully now with some air. 2014 was a very good year!

What wonderful clarity and purity of expression in this wine. Chassagne-Montrachet is not my preferred white Burgundy style (it is often just a little too full bodied), but this particular wine has wonderfully subtle acidity to balance the toast flavour and the green banana and pawpaw.
A testimony to this new generation of winemakers in Burgundy and their perfectionist standards, and possibly also to the 2014 vintage that is, indeed, as great as they say it is.

Bought from a restaurant list. Ripe orchard fruit and good weight on pnp. Ripe and round initially but with time the backbone appeared showing 2014 cut. Eventually the spice and brown sugar came to front and this drank very well. Decent depth with hints in the plus zone but never hitting that 3rd dimension.

2014 is a great vintage for whites. Wine is balanced and elegant with lemon oil, fruit, vanilla, oak working well for structure all combined with honeysuckle notes. Great balance, loved this

Vin ouvert et carafé deux heures, il s'ouvre sur des notes de miel , d'amande de pomme et de poire . Le touché est soyeux c'est du velour belle minéralité également c'est un vin complet et élégant

Remarkably good wine for it's level. Unlike the 2015, it is now showing all it's wares. Again, the fruit is of outstanding quality and there is a deft touch of oak adding complexity and structure. Highlights what a magnificent vintage 2014 was for Burgundy Blanc.

I had one sip of this wine before a wine tasting. Had pure clean flavors of vanilla, honeysuckle and faint lemon. Well rounded and balanced in the mouth. Very nice

Gorgeously mineral. Lime, lime zest. Definite flint. Salty. Long. Deliciously mouthwatering acidity.

Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Tasting #1 (Northside / Montrachet-adjacent) (House of Nanda - Chicago IL): Started out nicely bright, but this aged quickly before our eyes, clearly losing steam over 20+ minutes in glass. Almost as good as the wonderful 2010 Chaumées when poured, this was the least interesting of the flight when finished.

1 hour upon opening serving into 薄はり葡萄酒器 (“Leaf” day): Pale golden to the eyes.
Ripe citrus fruits like lemons, stone fruits like apricots and some hints of exotic fruits like mangos, florals, a lot of well integrated oak.
Quite highly ripe and powerful but supposedly more about fruits than. Good persistent finish.
93-94 points.

Ravinia at Home (The Krengels - Bannockburn IL): Tasted two days ago, note is from memory. Ripe apple with tropical hints, but 2014's brightness is front-and-center. Very good now.
