There's one 350-liter barrel of the 2021 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru La Grand Montagne, a medium to full-bodied, pure and tensile wine evocative of pear, crisp green apple, white flowers and smoky reduction. With a satiny attack and chalky structuring extract, it remains very classical in profile despite the tiny yield.

The 2019 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru La Grand Montagne is very promising, wafting from the glass with notes of pear, white flowers, nutmeg, orange oil, green apple and struck match. Medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, it's textural and seamless, with tangy acids and a long, saline finish.

The 2018 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru La Grand Montagne is also extremely promising, revealing a bouquet of fresh pear and citrus oil, framed by a delicate hint of almond paste. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered, this is rich and textural, with a deep core of lively fruit and a long, chalky finish.

A cuvée which sees no new wood, the 2017 Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru La Grand Montagne wafts from the glass with aromas of lemon oil, white flowers and crushed chalk. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, tight-knit and searingly mineral, with considerable concentration and chalky dry extract, underpinned by a racy line of animating acidity and concluding with a long, tongue-tingling finish. This is a superb wine that will appeal to Burgundy purists.
