(6x75cl) 2022Vinous (93)
Wipe your tears because this is the last vintage of Chassagne-Montrachet La Romanée 1er Cru for now; the vines were pulled up after the harvest as production had tumbled to untenable levels, plus there was unacceptable soil erosion. The well-defined bouquet is intense with yellow plum, Mirabelle, crushed stone and wilted white flowers. The palate is very well-balanced with superb tension, focused and energetic with a saline finish. Bowing out in style.Inc. TAX€1,412.39 -

Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (91-94)
Bright yellow. The nose suggests a wine with terrific inner-mouth tension: yellow peach, white flowers, menthol, minerals and crushed rock. Fatter than the Vergers in the mouth, with a seductive orange zest sweetness throughout, but kept firm and bright by piquant minerality. Quite tight on the long, aromatic back end. More austere than the Vergers, and not showing the early balance of that wine.Inc. TAX€1,106.88 -
Burghound (93)
(Sweet Spot Outstanding) A notably ripe and moderately exotic nose combines notes of pineapple, tangerine, lychee nut and floral, citrus and matchsticks hints. There is a lovely sense of underlying tension to the intense and much stonier middle weight flavors that also possess even better detail on the notably firm if not really austere finale that delivers superb length. This is excellent and while I am in general not really a fan of exoticism, this manages to work particularly well.Inc. TAX€195.08 -

The 2018 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Caillerets 1er Cru has a minty/aniseed tinged bouquet that opens nicely in the glass. There is a very subtle reduction at play. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity, and, again, rather reductive. But, there is plenty of matière in situ. Fine boned with a lightly spiced and reassuringly persistent finish developing more and more salinity with aeration. Excellent. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 white tasting.Inc. TAX€888.48 -
Vinous (93)
The 2019 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Caillerets 1er Cru has a crisp, more understated bouquet with more earthy overtones that the domaine's other cuvées. The palate is one of the most terroir-expressive from the domaine, very well defined with a lightly spiced finish. This has a real spring in its step.Inc. TAX€959.28 -

The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Caillerets 1er Cru has wonderful terroir expression on the nose, very nicely balanced, touches of lemon verbena, white peach and a light walnut aroma. The palate is very taut and linear, a fine spine of acidity with impressive salinity, especially on the finish. Great length and poise, this may warrant a higher score in the future.Inc. TAX€958.08 -

The 2021 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Caillerets 1er Cru has a clean and precise bouquet, not intense, yet focused and gaining clarity with time. The palate is well-balanced with a fine bead of acidity, quite saline with admirable persistence on the finish. This is worth seeking out.Inc. TAX€169.88 -
Vinous (92)
The 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Caillerets 1er Cru has wonderful delineation and poise on the nose, real frisson, with yellow fruit, egg whites and wild peach. Love it! The palate is very well-balanced with a touch of reduction, elegant in style, perhaps needing more depth and grip on the finish. But this is very suave and nuanced.Inc. TAX€659.28 -
Vinous - Neal Martin (92-94)
The 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Caillerets 1er Cru has a very harmonious bouquet, fine mineralité and terroir expression and touches of oyster shell infusing the citrus fruit. The palate is well balanced with a rounded texture. There's a fine silver bead of acidity here, a little richer in style, fanning out marvelously on the finish. This is excellent.Inc. TAX€614.14 -

The 2018 Chassagne-Montrachet Vergers 1er Cru has a tight and rather recalcitrant bouquet that remains tight-lipped despite rigorous coaxing. The palate, meanwhile, is more open on the entry, offering lemon peel and orange zest, though I would like to see more depth and grip on the rather linear finish. Fine precision here, but it needs a little more matière.Inc. TAX€132.68 -
Vinous (94)
The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet Vergers 1er Cru from vines located on the Saint-Aubin side on shallow soils, has wonderful mineralité on the nose, crushed rock filtering through the citrus fruit. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, taut and fresh, lively and spicy on the finish with veins of stem ginger. I love this...you will too.Inc. TAX€1,305.36 -

The 2021 Chassagne-Montrachet Vergers 1er Cru just misses the mineralité expressed by other cuvées on the nose - a little one-dimensional by comparison. The palate is better with fine "bite" on the entry, moderate depth, perhaps just needing a little more precision on the finish.Inc. TAX€667.68 -
Jancis Robinson (17)
Classy premier cru with a zesty character on the palate allied to bright acidity and appealing stony notes to follow. I would be very happy to drink this now. Complex, nutty, savoury on the lengthy, pithy finish.Inc. TAX€505.68 -
Vinous - Neal Martin (92)
The 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet Vergers 1er Cru has a bright nose with yellow plum, white peach and light sea spray scents that opens beautifully in the glass. The palate is very well balanced and quite intense with a bit more body than other cuvées. It's a little honeyed toward the finish but the acidity keeps everything in check. This is a charming Chassagne.Inc. TAX€570.06 -
Vinous (94)
The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeots 1er Cru, over towards the Santenay side, usually takes longer to ripen. The nose is well balanced with fine delineation, touches of honeysuckle and pressed white flowers. The palate is well balanced with a lovely white peach and white chocolate opening, fine salinity, very poised and tensile towards the finish. Superb.Inc. TAX€1,599.36 -

The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeot 1er Cru Rouge taken from a one-year old barrel, has a well-defined bouquet with bright red cherries and cranberry fruit. Very intense. The palate is medium-bodied with a chalky entry with very fine tannins, lightly spiced with quite a pesistent finish. Excellent.Inc. TAX€142.75 -
Vinous (90-92)
The 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge Morgeot 1er Cru is certainly more flattering on the nose than the Clos Saint-Jean at the moment, with ebullient red berry and blueberry fruit, well-defined and expressive. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins. There’s plenty of fleshy red fruit with cracked black pepper and allspice towards the finish. Maybe the Domaine's strongest red this vintage. Very fine.Inc. TAX€524.14 -

Matured with 20% new oak the 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet Village has a high-toned and expressive bouquet with white flowers and a touch of tangerine. The palate is well balanced with a finely tuned opening, lemon verbena and apricot, with a pretty, quite floral finish. This is quite classy for a Chassagne Village.Inc. TAX€628.32 -
Vinous (87-89)
The 2021 Chassagne-Montrachet Village has a fresh bouquet, perhaps just lacking a little terroir expression, possibly because around 50% here was lost to frost. The palate is better with a sappy entry, a decent spine of acidity and lightly spiced towards the finish. I suspect the aromatics will open by the time of bottling.Inc. TAX€477.12 -
Vinous (88)
The 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet Village is matured in 20% new oak. It has a generous bouquet with orchard fruit, touches of almond and patisserie. It will require a couple of years to absorb the oak. The palate is well-balanced, with a fine bead of acidity countering the richness, though it needs to muster a little more complexity on the finish.Inc. TAX€369.12 -
Vinous (88-90)
The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge offers lilting red cherry and wild strawberry scents on the nose, hints of rose petal coming through with aeration.

Matured in 20% new oak, the 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge has quite an intense bouquet with dark cherries, blueberry and light violet scents.

Fontaine-Gagnard’s 2010 Criots-Batard-Montrachet is wonderfully nuanced and fragrant from start to finish. The Criots is at times even a bit exotic, but it never abandons its sensual, inviting personality and total refinement. In the end, the Criots is all about perfume.

The 2012 Criots-Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru comes from the family’s one-third hectare holding planted between the 1930s and 1990s. It was picked the same day as the premier crus and Celine told me that it always has a slightly higher degree of alcohol. It has an entrancing bouquet with perfumed apricot, peach and dried citrus peel notes infused with minerals – feminine and seductive. The palate is medium-bodied with a rounded, powerful, spicy opening. It is very well balanced, very concentrated on the finish. This is compelling like so many from this under-rated grand cru vineyard, though there are just four barrels instead of the usual eight in this year.Inc. TAX€3,418.38 -
