Tasting notes
Reviewed by: William Kelley
Unwinding in the glass with aromas of sweet stone fruit, orange oil, buttery pastry and toasted nuts, the 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Grandes Ruchottes is medium to full-bodied, rich and layered, with a ripe core of fruit, lively acids and a long, oak-inflected finish.
