  6/1/2019 - ChristopherB Likes this wine: 90 Points

  Nice medium pale straw colour. On the nose, floral aromas, butter, and a touche of hazelnut. After a while yellow apple appears. On the palate, the attack is frank, with quite an evident acidity stream, which opens on a somewhat rounded density, but always kept in check by the present acidity. The flavours that follow are floral, butter, Granny Smith apple with a nice mineral stony finish. A good to very good length. Good wine, more on an acidity/apple lean. I get the impression it is slightly riper, age wise, than the Baudines 2014 by the same producer, and…. I think I prefer the Morgeot from the same producer and vintage from an aroma perspective (less apple and more citrus). In all cases, a good wine, though not able to make me forget the slightly less expensive Encégnières 2014 of Marc Colin. 90-91
  
  Belle robe paille moyennement pâle. Au nez, ce sont des arômes floraux, de beurre, touche de noisettes. En bouche, l'attaque est franche, bien vive, ensuite s'ouvre une densité et une certaine rondeur, mais toujours gardé "en joue" par l'acidité bien présente. S'en suit, les arômes floraux, de beurre, de pomme granny smith, le tout d'une bonne longueur avec une belle "minéralité" sur la finale. Bon vin, plus sur la trame acidité/pomme. J'ai l'impression qu'il est une touche plus mûr (en terme d'âge) que Baudines du même millésime et producteur, et... je crois préférer le Morgeot du même millésime et producteur au niveau arômes (moins pomme, plus agrumes). Dans tous les cas, un bon vin, mais pas en mesure de me faire oublier le CM Encégnières de Marc Colin du même millésime. 90-91
  
  A few hours later, this is surprisingly stony. Pebbles, chalk etc...

  Absolutely squint inducing. A study in geology and citrus fruit. It is stony and flinty and has plenty of grapefruit. It is fine, linear and intense. Superb wine.

  DIVA Burgundy Tasting (Maison Champy - Beaune): Tasting, brief note. Orchard fruit with tropical hints with very good concentration. Modest acidity, better minerality. While I slightly prefer the Embrazees, this was a close 2nd amongst these 5 Chassagne 1ers today.
