98+ AG "One of my personal favorites, the 2010 Montrachet dazzles with its crystalline purity, tension and focus. In many vintages, the Montrachet veers towards opulence, but the 2010 is much more a wine of vibrant, pulsating energy. White orchard fruit, slate, crushed rocks, mint and white pepper notes open up, but above all else, the 2010 truly stands out because of its diamond-like translucence and precision. There is some botrytis here, but it is not especially apparent, at least not yet. Closing notes of saline-infused minerality kick the finish into high gear as the 2010 shows off is captivating personality. If there is any recent vintage of Montrachet I would mortgage the house for, the 2010 is it. The 2010 is a stunning Montrachet." 97 WS "Normally lush and opulent, this version is sleek and racy, with clean, focused aromas of acacia, peach, citronella and subtle pineapple. Very pure and vibrant, this ends with a long, mouthwatering finish of spice and mineral."

Chassagne-Montrachet is a village AOC in Burgundy's Cote de Beaune with numerous Premier Crus, renowned above all for rich, nutty, mineral Chardonnay whites, though it also makes firm Pinot Noir reds.
