Chassagne-Montrachet Clos St. Jean 1er Cru 2004

17.0 / 20
Producer: Maison Chanson
Region: Bourgogne
Country: France









Another amazing white Bourgogne I had the chance to taste at the Chanson tasting a couple of weeks ago, the nose is a bit subdued at first, with mineral and vegetable notes much to the foreground. Over time, it gains some momentum and intensity, while maintaing a severe, austere profile.

In the mouth, it reveals an amazing body, mouth-watering dryness and a fabulous acidity - still surprised at how these wines still have this level of acidity 6 years on. Loads of grassy, vegetable notes throughout the taste, finishing with an amazingly long aftertaste.
