The 2019 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Chenevottes 1er Cru comes across tightly wound on the nose and requires coaxing, very flinty and with light bell pepper notes. You would almost think there is a touch of Sauvignon Blanc in the blend (there isn’t of course.) The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, though it does not quite deliver the verve or the comeliness of the preceeding Vergers and feels straightlaced on the finish. Maybe it has something up its sleeve for later? 90-92 points

A light green tint here. More fruit than oak, definitely a lime infusion running through, with plenty of energy and then a softer white fruit finish. Chenevottes is always a good cuvée chez Philippe Colin. 91-93 points
