The 2019 Chassagne-Montrachet Village opens in the glass with aromas of mandarin, peach, white flowers and pastry cream. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and charming, with bright acids and a saline finish, it's more open-knit and immediate than its Puligny-Montrachet counterpart.

The 2017 Chassagne-Montrachet Village offers up notes of honeyed peach, orchard fruit, spices and white flowers. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, tangy and tight-knit, with appealing purity and a stony finish. This will likely flesh out with further élevage and land at the upper end of my bracketed score.

Broad and lush, featuring vanilla- and butterscotch-tinged peach and apple pie flavors. Appealing up front, this tails off a little on the finish. Drink now through 2023. 25 cases imported.??–BS??Region: France / Burgundy / Chassagne-Montrachet Select to Add

The 2016 Chassagne Montrachet Village comes from eight plots, some of them affected by the frost that reduced the quantity by 50%, all raised in a single vat. It has a light but agreeable honeysuckle and lanolin-tinged bouquet that took some coaxing from the glass. Later, there is a hint of white chocolate. The palate is well balanced with good weight in the mouth, quite fresh and coming into its own toward the harmonious, orange pith and quince-driven finish with a shimmering spicy aftertaste. Considering how this appellation was affected by frost, this is a great success.

Rich and dense, showing delicate flavors of lemon cake, white peach and well-integrated oak spice. Vibrant acidity keeps this balanced, and the finish carries through effortlessly. Drink now through 2025. 140 cases imported.??–BS??Region: France / Burgundy / Chassagne-Montrachet Select to Add
