Vinous Neal Martin - 10 Jun 22
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.
