2022 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Blanchot-Dessus, Domaine Jean-Claude Bachelet et Fils

2022 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Blanchot-Dessus, Domaine Jean-Claude Bachelet et Fils

There are many who consider Bachelet’s Blanchot-Dessus on a par with its grand cru neighbours, Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet and Le Montrachet. The vines were planted in 1927, and this old-vine wine has the presence and stature of its grand cru neighbours. Its shyness in youth will be transformed into majesty with age. Put it away for a few years to see what it can really do.

Tasting notes

A little lime touch to the lemon colour. This is brilliantly distinguished as so often, yet with a sense of precision. Production is just 1 x 456 litres and 1 x228. I am taking my time over this as the nose is coming out only very gently. A little extra ripeness appears behind, but also the fruit is so tightly bound together, having such concentration. Very fine long finish. Drink from 2029-2036. Tasted: October 2023.
