2022, Domaine d'Eugénie, CHASSAGNE-MONTRACHET, 'Les Perclos'The 2022 Chassagne Montrachet Les Perclos, the only white to be racked, has a light bouquet with yellow plum and green apple scents. It's not powerful, but nicely defined. The palate is well balanced with a slightly waxy texture, fine acidity, and a little stem ginger towards the finish. An easy going Chassagne Montrachet to enjoy over the next 5 8 years. 87 89 Neal Martin, Vinous (2023). A clear fresh lemon with a chiselled clear cut limestone nose.

Clear salinity and the fennel aniseed tough that I get in Verso de Haut-Batailley also

the 2022 appeals to all those who seek power over finesse

lemon zest and elderflower - smells very expressive with cool citrus elements

Attractive aromatics here

although only the youngest vines suffered blockages

blueberry and raspberry fruits dominate

sumptuous Pomerol that delivers the goods

The wider structure is more discrete than that of the Vercots

hints of undergrowth and potpourri emerging with time

Fermentation takes place at controlled temperatures in stainless steel

some of the classic spice from this vineyard
