The 2015 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru La Romanée has a taut, quite austere, Puligny-like bouquet with moderate intensity. The palate is supple and lightly honeyed on the entry, the acidity well judged with touches of orange peel and brown spices towards the easygoing finish. This should drink nicely straight after bottling, but will give pleasure over several years.

The 2014 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru La Romanée comes from the middle of the vineyard. There is a sense of brightness and lucidity on the nose, well defined with granite and quartz. The palate is smooth in the mouth with q fine line of acidity, touches of apricot, mango and a dash of white pepper towards the finish. Give this a couple of years to take flight.
