Tasted blind at the annual “Burgfest” tasting in Bouilland. The 2013 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Vergers has an attractive, slightly resinous, tree sap-tinged bouquet with hints of dried honey. There is less of the flintiness that I remarked upon prior to bottling. The palate is crisp on the entry with sharp, bitter lemon notes. There is presence and body to this Chassagne-Montrachet and it veers towards a spicy, almost fiery finish complemented by a smear of honey. For want of a better expression, it just lacks the "sparkle" it showed from barrel, however, I suspect it will improve with continued bottle age. Tasted May 2016.
