Tasting Notes

91-93
Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Dec 21
The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet En Remilly 1er Cru is one of my picks from Monnot this year: citrus fruit, hints of almond and nutmeg on the nose. The palate is well balanced, quite vivacious and spicy, a hint of Japanese shiso leaf towards the finish. This is worth seeking out.
