Burghound 91-93 pts! Here too there is just enough wood to merit pointing out on the mildly exotic nose of orange peel, spiced apple and rosemary oil. There is again excellent volume and mid-palate density to the opulent and sappy flavors that also offer fine depth and persistence on the balanced finale. Lovely. (Drink starting 2025)
Neal Martin 91-93 pts! The 2019 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Chenevottes 1er Cru comes across tightly wound on the nose and requires coaxing, very flinty and with light bell pepper notes. You would almost think there is a touch of Sauvignon Blanc in the blend (there isn’t of course.) The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, though it does not quite deliver the verve or the comeliness of the preceeding Vergers and feels straightlaced on the finish. Maybe it has something up its sleeve for later? (Drink between 2023 - 2036)
