Medium pale yellow color. On the nose, quite clear-cut, well-detailed and neat for Chassagne Morgeot blanc: yellow orchard fruit, Macadamia nut, Chassagne herb, baking spices, turned earth, mineral. Slightly waxy and a bit lanolin-like on the palate, medium-full: Anjou pear, peach pit, fresh citrus. Nice, linear equilibrium here: this wine just cruises at the same wavelength from cork pop to last drop. Good freshness, energy and intensity. We could have used a bit more grip and acidity but that is Chassagne Morgeot blanc. In fact, this one enjoys the richness, fat and weight of a Chassagne Morgeot blanc without coming off as ponderous, flat, overly dense or heavy-footed as many do. As measured by the yardstick of your typical Chassagne Morgeot blanc, this is quite refined. A very good bottle. And best of all: no bottle variability to be found with these bottles. This was last bottle on the case, these were consistent and correct all the way through. If I had additional bottles in the cellar I would plan on drinking these up over the next one to two years.
