Tasting Notes

89-91
Vinous Neal Martin - 05 Jan 23
The 2021 Chassagne-Montrachet En Remilly 1er Cru has a taut and backward bouquet with crushed stone, fern and chalky aromas that express the decomposed limestone soil. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity, crisp and saline, maybe just missing a little complexity on the finish but long on the finish. Just three barrels were produced.
