Score 87/100 · Drink 2017-2021, Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, Dec 2017
The 2016 Chassagne-Montrachet Vieilles Vignes has a clean and well-defined bouquet with traces of dried apricot and yellow plum. The palate has a pleasing fatness, albeit in lieu of tension and terroir expression. Yet for all its shortcomings, it is still a Chassagne that I would contentedly drink down to the very last drop.

Lifted and lime-scented. Pure, cedar-like freshness. More savoury on the palate, rounded depths of fruit and oak-softened texture. Chewy, savoury finish and mouth-watering aftertaste. Very long. (JH)
