Jasper Morris - Inside Burgundy: 92-94
2021 Chassagne 1er Les Vergers
2 parcels here; one in the Clos st Marc – the older vines – and a younger vine (2002) in Pascquelles – ‘the balance comes from assembling them. Clos St.Jean and Chenevottes were completely ‘harvested by the frost’ but here could find enough grapes as the soil is cooler here.’
Broader more generous aromatics – very inviting with a hint of sweetness but nothing exotic. Mouth-filling, melting, open – almost fluid in style – just a beautiful shape and mouth-watering style – a bottle of this wouldn’t last very long on my table – bravo!
