What an cool juxtaposition compared to the Pernand-Vergelesses Chardonnays. Etienne does a cheeky trade for grapes with a good friend from his southern neighbor and treats the wine the same as his other Chardonnays. Chassagne-Montrachet is on full display here with fresh hits of briny lemon peel, yellow plums, and ginger spice. The palate has more weight and a slick oily texture that's eventually pierced by crisp acidity. Lots of verve over the course of the overtly refreshing finish. This wine feels like it has loads of pedigree and should reward your patience in the cellar for the next 10 years. Very Limited
