Chassagne Montrachet Grandes Ruchottes, Bernard Moreau 2015

The 2015 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Grandes Ruchottes is one of the white wines of the vintage, wafting from the glass with notes of oatmeal, preserved citrus, crisp orchard fruit, peach and brioche. On the palate, the wine is wonderfully layered and glossily textural, its purity, energy and elegance as impressive as its immense concentration and power. This profound Grandes Ruchottes—which hails from old vines planted in 1939—boasts grand cru depth and dimension and should be very long-lived.
