Bright cherry red. Scented with red fruit, light spice and a hint of vanilla. A firm grip on the palate but the core is wonderfully juicy and fresh. Fine friction to the finish.

Here the nose is aromatically similar to that of the Fixin though there is more volume to the delicious and punchy medium weight flavors that possess fine intensity on the rustic, complex, lingering and balanced finish. This moderately structured effort is very Marsannay in character with its minerality and mild rusticity.

A fresh and bright red with sliced oranges and dried strawberries, fine tannins and a savory finish.

The 2014 Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru les Baudines has a similarly powerful nose like the les Blanchots, here with wax resin, honeysuckle aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with a spicy entry, touches of nutmeg and grilled walnut, leading to a generous, nutty finish that is just missing a little focus and detail. Still, this is a fine Chassagne to enjoy over the next few years.

Good full, bright red. Less fruity on the nose than the Beaune Clos des Ursules, with pepper and spices dominating today. Supple and sweet, offering good size and volume but not yet filled in. Red fruits began to emerge as the wine opened in the glass. Broad on the finish, showing distinctly firm tannins.
