Wine Reviews

Rich and charming, with lemon cake, white peach and spice flavors finely woven into the creamy texture.

A potent and heady Chassagne. The hard edge of the reduction mellows as does the peppery arugula-like greenness, allowing the wine’s fresh nut and butter-brickle flavors to emerge, crisp, clean and lasting on spice.

A pure, airy and cool if highly restrained nose speaks of the essence of what orchard fruit, citrus confit, acacia and an impressive array of spice elements. The refined if not super dense broad-shouldered flavors still pack plenty of punch on the powerful and impressively persistent finish. This is a lovely combination of power and refinement.

Soft wood sets off ripe, but cool aromas of resin, white and yellow orchard fruit and hints of rosemary oil and lemon rind. The vibrant and attractively precise medium weight flavors possess fine depth and persistence on the chiseled, youthfully austere and citrus-tinged finish. This is really quite good for a villages Chassagne and worth your consideration as the presence of the 1er juice is in evidence.

Aromas of yellow orchard fruit, mint, white flowers and spices introduce the 2017 Chassagne-Montrachet (Maison Louis Jadot), a medium to full-bodied, fleshy wine with a succulent core of fruit, juicy acids and a clean, delineated finish.
