The 2015 Chassagne-Montrachet Enceignieres, from vines close to Batard-Montrachet, has a reserved, stony, Puligny-like bouquet that opens nicely in the glass, just a hint of blackberry leaf developing after 3-4 minutes. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity, very taut and linear with a dash of spice towards the finish. It perhaps just lacks a little charm at the moment, but hopefully that will develop with time in bottle.

The 2014 Chassagne-Montrachet Enceignières is raised in used barrel with 15% new oak. It is quite austere on the nose with light, flinty scents. The palate is fresh on the entry with brisk and breezy green apple and pear. Steely in style, more like a Puligny in style with a reserved finish, I would enjoy this over the next five years.

The 2013 Chassagne-Montrachet Enceignieres has a fragrant bouquet with hints of white flowers and brioche infusing the citrus fruit. The palate has a taut, citric entry, perhaps just a little pinched at the moment with a sharp, quite malic finish. It just does not quite jump out of the blocks like the other 2013s at the moment.
