  Åpnet litt tung på labben - skikkelig feit og manglet spenst.
  Fremstod nesten litt "advanced"
  En time med luft gjorde underverker.
  Strammet seg nydelig opp og man sitter igjen med en sexy formfull nydelig Village.

  Bernard Moreau Chassagne-Montrachet 2015.
  Åpner seg fint etter en halvtime i glasset.
  Nydelig på duft med god intensitet.
  På smak er den myk og fyldig - skikkelig smooth.
  Nydelig fruktsødme og god konsentrasjon
  Ung, men gir masse glede nå også.
  Mangler kanskje noe av energien i kjøligere årganger, men masse mineralitet i finish.
  Lang.
  Strålende Village. 91-92p

  I am a fan of this producer, so I am not surprised that this village wine is performing o well. The nose and palate clearly announce that it is a Chassagne with that unique spicy quality. This could not come from Puligny or Meursault fruit. Ripe pear on the nose. White peach, pear, and spicy baked apples on the palate. A kiss of oak and some heat (which works well). Village white Burgundy cannot be better. This punches above its weight.
