Description
Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Stephen Tanzer
Pale, bright yellow. Explosive aromas of lemon, licorice, lichee and toasted baguette. The palate delivers a captivating combination of sucrosité, roundness and enveloping minerality, without quite the bracing stoniness of a cooler year. This very fine-grained wine boasts terrific palate presence. Finishes suave and very long, with subtle hints of lime, mint and rock.

The Domaine holdings, 90% of which are in the commune of Chassagne-Montrachet was increased since then from 5 hectares to 11 hectares today, half of which whites and half reds.
