Tasted in June 2019

Medium garnet colored

the 2012 has so much to offer

as animated as the 2015 with great precision and tension towards the finish

and it's one of the more intense wines I tasted within this selection

Paul Pillot, Chassagne Montrachet Grandes Ruchottes other_regions_italy Tasted in June 2019Like the Champ Gains this too is overtly floral in character with pretty and airy aromas of spice and citrus suffused white orchard fruit. There is a lovely sense of underlying tension to the lightly stony and chalky textured flavors that terminate in a linear, saline and chiseled finish. This lovely effort is like rolling small stones around in the mouth and a wine that should age gracefully over the mid term.
