2017 Caroline Morey Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge

Last bottle of 12x halves. PnP. This was drinking really well from get-go. Explosive floral nose with hints of stems. In between primary and secondary but not awkward. Bright acidity and good balance, finished spicy with noticeable soil tones. An excellent village level Chassange Montrachet rouge, good news for ‘17 vintage, higher levels from good producers must be really good.

2x halves. PnP. A tale of two halves, both from the same wooden case but behaving very differently.
First bottle - nose was not entirely clean, ever so slightly corked. Very young on the palate, robust and huge wine, years away from reaching the peak. Lively with noticeable acidity to balance out the tannins. (NR).
Second bottle - clean if rather subtle nose, ready now with tannins mostly softened, fairly linear over 2 hours lunch, never did fade or develop further, good but not great bottle, maybe a 94 pointer.

Subtle nose. Acidity a little volatile at the moment. Rich and ripe, tasted like a hot vintage CDP. Finished with heat at backend, not really my kind of thing. Hmmmm…not showing well, maybe just in awkward phase.
