It has quite a striking, menthol- and licorice-tinged bouquet that revels in the exoticism of the 2019 but does not allow it to impede upon the terroir. The palate is well balanced with pure fruit –passion fruit, tinned pineapple chunks – and a touch of spice and crushed stone toward the finish, which has plenty of extract. There is a sense of fun about this Chassagne that will make it tempting in its youth, but I suspect that its more intellectual side will only be revealed with bottle age.In Bond€575.00 -

The 2021 Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeot Tête du Clos 1er Cru takes time to open on the nose, revealing mainly yellow fruit, crushed stone and light clementine notes that become spicier with aeration. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity, a little honeyed possibly due to some botrytised fruit towards the finish, but it carries it off with style. Very fine.

The 2021 Meursault Les Charmes 1er Cru has a gorgeous nose: yellow plum, crushed stone and light walnut scents blossoming in the glass. Wonderful delineation. The palate is fresh and sapid on the entry, though the acidity feels slightly shrill at the moment. Lime and green apple towards the finish just need more length.
