Benoit remarked that this vineyard is always the earliest to be ready to drink. 30% new oak. This site always seems to suffer from millerandage, which results in tiny grapes, so they always pck here on the first day. There are two blocks of 35yo and 60 year old vines respectively.
More open than the previous wines, rounded, palate saturating greengage fruit, still mineral but generous and mouthcoating. (CW 04/11/10)

Neal Martin
Instead, we poured a 2009 Chassagne-Montrachet Chenevottes 1er Cru from Domaine Bernard Moreau. Lucid in colour, this has a lovely honeyed, white cotton and fig-tinged bouquet, unable to disguise the warmth of the growing season and slightly masking the terroir. The palate is fully mature with fine acidity, quite rich and decadent in style and maybe missing the nerve one finds in more recent vintages. It was decent enough, but I would not cellar bottles for a long time. 89 points
