2023 Darviot-Perrin Chassagne-Montrachet Blanchots-Dessus 1er (Pre-arrival)

Burghound Outstanding – “Ripe but wonderfully fresh aromas of spice, rosemary oil, apple and prominent petrol are trimmed in admirably discreet wood influence. There is both excellent density and overt power to the muscular big-bodied flavors that display equally good length if not quite the same sophistication on the beautifully well-balanced finale. This is also first-rate and very much built-to-age. (Drink starting 2033).”

Jasper Morris (94-96) – “Pale primrose in colour. The oak is a little more prominent thanks to the softer style of white fruit. Bouncy and exuberant, more than I expected on the palate. Mouthfilling, with good acidity, real excitement here.”
