2017 Chassagne-Montrachet 1. Cru Les Vergers Magnum C. Morey

A very Chassagne-style nose features notes of resin, rosemary oil, freshly sliced apple and soft citrus wisps. The rich, relatively forward and vibrant middle weight flavors display good length though the bone dry finish is on the lean side, at least today. Note that my predicted range offers the benefit of the doubt that this will gradually flesh out with time in bottle.

Again a little lemon with the lime, and quite a discreet nose. Two dates of vines here but the average age is 60. This might explain the huge intensity at the back of the palate, despite what is still a fresh youthful fruit. Lovely finish, length and balance. Tasted: October 2018.
