Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Dec 21
The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Vergers 1er Cru went through a very long alcoholic fermentation. It is more floral on the nose with yellow flowers and light grass clipping scents intertwined with the citrus fruit. The palate is fresh and citric on the entry. Racy acidity here, veins of bitter lemon towards the chalky, livewire finish that cries out for some accompanying fruits de mer. The pH of 3.11 really drives this along. Excellent.
