2014 Chassagne Montrachet Virondot

Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting, the 2014 Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru les Virondots from Marc Morey was showing some reduction on the nose, and when it did shake off some of the SO2, it was rather smudged and lacked the detail of, say, Jean-Marc Pillot's Les Baudines tasted alongside. The palate is rounded on the entry, quite concentrated, but it needs to demonstrate more tension and certainly more terroir expression since it comes across as able but anonymous on the finish. This does not quite match up to its showing in barrel.
