"Mid lemon yellow, and showing its oak a little more. Tension comes both from the fruit energy and the terroir, and from the wood. Finishes on white apples and stone fruit, with a definite backbone, "

"The 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet La Boudriotte 1er Cru has a little more sophistication and mineralité on the nose than the other Premier Crus. The palate is very well balanced with a silver thread of acidity. Citrus-fresh with hints of blood orange toward the finish, this will benefit from a couple of years in bottle because it has great potential."
