Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Aug 21
The 2015 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Ruchottes 1er Cru has a seductive bouquet of almond, hazelnut, vanilla pod and white tea aromas, building beautifully in the glass over 45 minutes. The palate is, again, very seductive, with impressive depth. There is more creaminess in terms of texture than some purists would like, although it does possess the acidity to back it up. Delivering wonderful depth, great length, and touches of guava and a hint of praline toward the finish, this is a delicious Chassagne-Montrachet that is going to be difficult to resist. Tasted at "Chablis Wine Not?" in Chablis.
