JACQUES CARILLON ‘LES MACHARELLES’ 1ER CRU CHASSAGNE-MONTRACHET 2017

89-91 Points - Stephen Tanzer - Vinous - “Bright yellow. Ripe, fruit-driven aromas of pineapple and peach. Much richer and more harmonious than the basic village Chassagne from young vines, with the wine's fat nicely framed by ripe acidity and lemony cut. The note of pineapple carries through the palate of this fruit bomb. Finishes firmly mineral, with a floral note and excellent rising length. These vines on deep soil suffered less from the dry conditions in 2017 than did Carillon's vines in Champs Canet. A very promising vintage for this cuvée.”
