"Consistently among the top wines in the appellation for me this was particularly successful in 2021. The fruit character blends the citrus and the tropical with notes of lime gooseberry and passion fruit alongside tarragon clove and smoke. The texture is dense and concentrated yet the wine is exquisitely balanced and never seems heavy. It is produced from a 0.5ha plot of 100-year-old vines near the top of the slope. A touchstone for Chassagne. (Drink between 2025-2040)"
