Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Oct 21
The 2019 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Blanchots-Dessus 1er Cru has a detailed nose, more exotic in style than the Les Petits Clos. Flecks of white chocolate and almond infuse with citrus lemon and light tangerine aromas. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity. Candied orange peel and a touch of strawberry render this a very seductive Chassagne with impressive persistency on the tangy finish. Very fine.
