2020 Domaine Bernard Moreau Chassagne-Montrachet
Other Reviews....
The underlying fruit is presently masked by just enough reduction to blur the nuance. More interesting are the solidly concentrated and sappy flavors that possess even better volume before culminating in a mouth coating and unusually powerful finish that possess excellent depth and persistence for a wine at this level. Very fine quality for a villages-level Chassagne and well-worth checking out. Drink from 2026+.

Aromas of pear, freshly baked bread, nutmeg and citrus zest preface the 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet Village, a medium to full-bodied, satiny and precise wine that's taut and chalky, with a pretty core of fruit and a long, saline finish. It's the domaine's biggest cuvée, and it shouldn't be overlooked, as it ages very well indeed. Drink 2023 - 2043.

The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet Village had been blended and fined. This is well-defined on the nose with lemon sherbet and light orange zest aromas, a very subtle mineral note that surfaces with time. The palate is well balanced with a hint of quince on the entry, quite taut and linear, plenty of freshness towards with just a very discrete pithiness. A fine Chassagne-Montrachet. Drink 2024-2034.

Assembled and fined. Alexandre will be able to bottle this without filtering and is very happy with the fining. Clear pale lemon and lime. Beautifully fine bouquet, yet again a masterful example. The blend between the fruit and the thread of mineral acidity is just exactly right and there is no feeling of four square Chassagne. The flesh emerges a little more forcefully at the finish which is exceptionally persistent. Year in, year out, this si just about the best example of village Chassagne-Montrachet available.
