Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting, Niellon's 2014 Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru Champs Gain showed far better than when I tasted it just after bottling. Here, it has a fresh and vibrant bouquet with gunflint-infused Golden Delicious aromas, intense and vivacious. The palate is very composed with beautifully integrated oak and plenty of complex fruit: Japanese yuzu, nectarine, stem ginger and touch of rhubarb. This has certainly improved in bottle, and it may well continue its ascent.
