Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2012 tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Chassagne Montrachet les Chaumées 1er Cru has a slightly disjointed bouquet with stronger pear and gooseberry scents coming through, though nicely defined. The palate is crisp and fresh with well judged acidity, freshly squeezed lime and green apple dovetailing into a detailed finish with commendable tension and length. This is an impressive showing.
