Note: from Chenevottes proper. Here too the nose is reduced beyond any reasonable ability to read it. The delicious and generously proportioned medium-bodied flavors possess a caressing mouthfeel before terminating in a sappy and nicely dry finish that is slightly longer and more complex.

The 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Chenevottes 1er Cru has an understated stony bouquet with touches of lemon rind meeting nectarine. The palate is fresh on the entry and open-knit, with well-judged acidity, a little creaminess emanating from the oak and a touch of dried honey on the finish. Fine.(NM)
