"The 2018 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Blanchot-Dessus is showing brilliantly, wafting from the glass with aromas of crisp yellow orchard fruit, buttered toast, orange oil and nutmeg. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and enveloping, it's lavishly textured, with a fleshy core of fruit, huge concentration and bright buttressing acidity. Long and penetrating, it certainly makes its proximity to Montrachet felt—though I would rather drink this Blanchot-Dessus than many renditions of Montrachet!"
