"The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet La Boudriotte 1er Cru has a delineated, quite mineral driven bouquet of petrichor/wet limestone and just a touch of flint, accompanied by light orange blossom scents. The palate is very well balanced, taut and fresh, with a fine bead of acidity and one of the most saline finishes among Bachelet’s 2020s. Excellent."

"The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru La Boudriotte is lovely, wafting from the glass with aromas of pear, sweet stone fruits, freshly baked bread and white flowers. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and enveloping, with racy acids and a seamless, suave profile, it's one of the most elegant, charming wines in the range."
