The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet Vieilles Vignes has turned out especially well. Mingling aromas of pear and orange oil with hints of baking spices, beeswax and wheat toast, it's medium to full-bodied, rich and fleshy, with a satiny attack and a long, chalky finish.

The 2019 Chassagne-Montrachet Vieilles Vignes unwinds in the glass with scents of smoky pears and pear honey, framed by a subtle touch of reduction. Medium to full-bodied, round and fleshy, with a lively spine of acidity, it concludes with a mouthwateringly saline finish.

Lemon, apple and baking spice flavors take on a smoky aroma in this bracing white. It's a bit lean on the finish, despite a long aftertaste of citrus and spice. Best from 2023 through 2027.??–BS??Region: France / Burgundy / Chassagne-Montrachet Select to Add

Opening with notes of pear, white flowers, wheat toast and struck match, Pierre-Yves Colin's 2018 Chassagne-Montrachet Vieilles Vignes is medium to full-bodied, layered and textural, with a tightly wound core, incisive acids and superb mid-palate amplitude. In a vintage that can be a touch diffuse at other addresses, this is a great success at the communal level.
