Tasting notes
The 2018 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Blanchots Dessus has turned out superbly, opening in the glass with aromas of crisp orchard fruit, white flowers, toasted almonds, iodine and mandarin oil. Medium to full-bodied, layered and multidimensional, it's deep and precise, with terrific texture and mid-palate amplitude, concluding with a long, mineral finish.

The 2018 Chassagne-Montrachet Blanchot-Dessus 1er Cru does not give much on the nose, light tertiary notes of dry straw, but it needs more energy. The palate is light with sour lemon and orange rind on the entry. It becomes slightly waxy in texture towards the finish, but overall I would like to see more personality. - Neal Martin
