Beneath its floral and stone fruit guiles is a pool of savory

earth and hint of game

complex and mostly still primary nose offers up earthy red berry fruit

this already feels opulent and luxurious

The top release from the estate

Jean-Claude Bachelet, Chassagne Montrachet Boudriotte Blanc other_regions Beneath its floral and stone(from 60+ year old vines in Les Chaumes). Discreet wood frames the ripe aromas of rosemary oil, white peach and again a whiff of petrol character. The medium weight flavors are not quite as dense yet theyre even more powerful while concluding in a wonderfully long and sappy if borderline tannic finale that flirts with rusticity. This wont win any awards for refinement but its really quite good.
