Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Nov 18
The 2015 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Chaumées Clos de la Truffière 1er Cru has a pleasant reduction on the nose that will require a couple of years in bottle to sort out, but there is clearly concentrated fruit underneath. The palate is well balanced, offering a fresh, slightly saline opening, well integrated oak and a vivacious, citrus-driven finish. This is a well-crafted Chassagne-Montrachet. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.
