Chassagne-Montrachet 2016
-
Complex and generous, Chassagne-Montrachet 2016 has a clear lemon color. The nose and palate present with intense aromas and flavors of acacia, yellow peaches and ripe pineapple, lined with notes of vanilla, almonds and hazelnuts. The finish is long and leaves a sense of generosity. It is a white wine approachable now, but definitely ageworthy.
