The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru La Boudriotte is lovely, wafting from the glass with aromas of pear, sweet stone fruits, freshly baked bread and white flowers. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and enveloping, with racy acids and a seamless, suave profile, it's one of the most elegant, charming wines in the range.

The 2019 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru La Boudriotte offers up aromas of pear, crisp green apple, hazelnuts, wheat toast, citrus oil and white flowers. Medium to full-bodied, ample and satiny, it's lively and seamless, with bright acids and a long, saline finish. This has turned out beautifully.

The 2018 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru La Boudriotte reveals aromas of crisp yellow orchard fruit, white peach, apple blossom and clear honey. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered, it's charming and enveloping, with an elegantly fleshy core, succulent acids and a mouthwatering finish.

The 2017 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru La Boudriotte was also showing brilliantly, unfurling in the glass with notes of pear, white toast, orange oil and white flowers. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive, with terrific old vine concentration, racy acids, and a long, chalky finish. This is well worth seeking out.

The 2016 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru la Boudriotte demanded some coaxing from the glass, eventually revealing touches of linseed oil, walnut and acacia honey that are nicely defined if needing more intensity. The palate is fat and oily in style, showing some tendencies toward a Condrieu: rich and spicy toward the honeyed-texture finish. It is not the pinnacle of terroir expression, but at the same time, I cannot help enjoying this Boudriotte and at the end of the day...that's what it's all about.
