The 2017 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Ancegnières—which, like the higher appellations, had been racked and returned to barrel when I tasted it—is showing very well, wafting from the glass with aromas of pear, fresh peach, nutmeg and mandarin oil. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, fleshy and textural, with good depth and weight at the core, tangy balancing acids and a mouthwatering finish. It's an attractively complete Chassagne from a parcel Colin owns that's located below Batard-Montrachet.

A creamy texture envelops the peach, floral, fresh thyme and baking spice flavors in this harmonious white. Lively, staying focused on the long, lemon- and spice-tinged aftertaste. Best from 2021 through 2028. 20 cases imported.??–BS??Region: France / Burgundy / Chassagne-Montrachet Select to Add
