The 2014 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Ruchottes is a real classic, opening in the glass with notes of mint, apple, pear and subtle noisette, deftly framed by a touch of reduction and new oak. On the palate, the wine approaches grand cru concentration and depth, with a velouté texture, lovely controlled amplitude and terrific definition and length. While this will only really begin to realize all its potential with 5 or 6 years in the cellar, I confess to having already enjoyed almost a case of this wine off wine lists in Burgundy; every bottle has been superb.
Opulent, this white exudes butterscotch, peach cobbler, fresh apple, chamomile and seashore aromas and flavors. Dense and vibrant, with a tactile sensation on the long finish. All the elements are there for a fine evolution.
