Chassagne-Montrachet "Les Chaumes", Jean Noel Gagnard, FR, 2022Decanter 92Points.
The fruit ripens well here and the wine shows a ripe, exotic note on the nose, while the palate has a dense, rich texture, but the wine never loses sight of its balance. Lovely length and great potential for ageing

This wine is ripe and chocolaty, with notes of cedar and cassis. It's medium to full-bodied and represents a pretty classic, velvety style. Consider it a 200-yard drive down the middle of the fairway and be happy to drink it.
