2 barrels, supplied in must. Pale lemon. Again, strikingly elegant with just a light touch of coconut. Elegant but magisterial, with little herbal subtleties to find on the nose, and a lovely and ever-changing fruit profile which keeps extending. Effortless density but Eric thinks a bit late picked. A thick concentration of yellow fruits behind. Works well for those who like the more sumptuous approach. Drink from 2029-2036. Tasted Oct 2024.

The 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet La Romanée 1er Cru is initially quite reticent and takes time to unfold on the nose, eventually offering lemon thyme, crushed stone and Puligny-like malic scents. The palate is well balanced with a slightly honeyed texture on the entry, notes of nectarine, praline and stem ginger toward the persistent finish. This is one to watch.
