Robert Parker Wine Advocate William Kelley - 20 Jan 22
Unfurling in the glass with aromas of pear, confit citrus fruit, freshly baked bread and ripe cantaloupe melon, the 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru La Romanée is medium to full-bodied, satiny and sensual, with a broad and textural attack that segues into a layered, fleshy core of fruit. This, too, is very promising.
