2022, Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard, CHASSAGNE-MONTRACHET, 1er Cru, 'Clos des Murées', Monopole
$156
The 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet Clos des Murées 1er Cru, habitually the last to be picked due to vine stress, has a slightly leaner nose than the Clos Saint-Jean despite this being a warm micro-climate. The palate doesn't have the panache of other cuvées, but there is fine delineation. It's missing a bit of grip on the finish, though it will provide pleasure in its youth. A delicate, sensitive thing. 88 Neal Martin, Vinous (2023).
