2018 Bernard Moreau, Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru, Les Grandes Ruchottes 1x75cl

Jasper Morris – 92-96

Just a little bit fuller in colour and richer on the nose. This underwent a long slow fermentation and it has not yet found its place. There is a wealth of yellow plum fruit on the palate then a softer finish with a little more oak. The acidity by analysis is the same as for the Caillerets but is hidden under this weight of fruit. My score may be conservative here. [01/12/2019]

Burghound – 91-93

(Outstanding) Here the expressive nose is relatively similar to the Caillerets though it’s a bit less obviously exotic in character. The succulent, even juicy, and seductively textured medium-bodied flavors also flash very good power on the beautifully well-balanced finale. This mouth coating beauty is quite firm so plan on cellaring it for at least a few years first. [10/06/2020]
