Ooh - the most perfumed of these villages - beautifully floral with a tiny fleshy generosity. The combination of the last two with an element that's very direct - but also with width. That will be a great village but wait 2-3 years.

There is excellent mid-palate density, especially for a village-level wine, to the relatively full-bodied flavors that coat the palate with sappy dry extract that also serves to buffer the less refined but more complex finale. This very dry and youthfully austere effort is excellent and worth considering. 2028+

Latour's mineral-y 2020 is a delight, delivering a fresh stony character buttressed by mouth-watering acidity. Its finesse and prolonged length make you wonder whether they included some Premier Cru that they opted not to bottle separately.

Fine example of premier cru Chassagne, this adds a complex mineral character and a finer texture than the Meursault premiers crus. Not at all heavy - just a refined, elegant, pleasurable wine. (AWH) Drink 2022 - 2027

Pleasant enough as a burgundian Chardonnay but I'd want more from this village wine at the price-point suggested. Nutty, some weight on the palate but a bit dull. (AWH) Drink 2022 - 2024

A symphony of flavors, this rich expression exudes both power and finesse. Immediate freshness invites you into the glass, gracefully poised with ripe Meyer lemon, delicately embraced by light green herbs. The palate is accentuated with river stones and a touch of salt, intensifying notes of citrus pith and subtle almond under notes. Gorgeous. (USA, December 2023)

Absolutely classic, with the combination of ripeness and elegance the world expects from Chassagne-Montrachet. Fine apple, pear and lemon aromas, a delicate herbal touch adding freshness. Long, elegant finish, driven along at a brisk clip by the mineral acidity. Drink or hold.

Fermented in traditional oak barrels (15% new) for eight to 10 months, this wine shows structure and pent-up energy waiting for release. Currently showing linear with a perfume of yellow flowers, ripe citrus and fresh almonds, the wine has more complexities to reveal. Cellar through 2026+ before revisiting. (USA, November 2023)

A ripe, juicy red with berries and light walnut and hazelnut undertones. Blue fruit, too. Medium to full body. Flavorful finish with chocolate and mushroom undertones to the fruit. Drinkable now, but better after 2022.

An intense white, rich and buttery, evoking citronella, apricot and lemon flavors, with a hint of pineapple. Reveals good cut underneath the creamy texture, keeping this focused and long. Light spice notes add depth. Drink now through 2024. (Bruce Sanderson, USA)

One of the more powerful, reserved village wines from Latour this year, the 2017 Chassagne-Montrachet Village exhibits notes of fresh pear, mandarin, spices and dried white flowers. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, broad shouldered and nicely concentrated, with chewy extract and good length on the finish. Drink 2018-2024 (cask sample)

This wine has weight and richness. It is ripe with apricot and peach flavors that are happily balanced by a crisp edge of acidity. Its texture will give it a good future. (USA)

A pungent and notably ripe nose combines notes of petrol, resin and essence of pear. The supple, rich and seductively textured flavors terminate in a very generously proportioned and mildly rustic and warm finish. While this could easily be enjoyed young I would be inclined to hold it for a few years. 87/2020+

A beautiful, creamy white with sliced apples, lemon curd and hints of mangoes. Some sand, too. Medium to full body and a soft texture, but this is fresh and delicious. Drink now. (USA)

This wine is textured, with a frim backdrop to the ripe white fruits. Acidity cuts through everything, giving a fragrant character. Drink this developing wine from 2018.

Top notes from the resin, petrol and white orchard fruit-scented nose. Once again there is excellent volume to the solidly concentrated and sappy medium-bodied flavors that possess good power, indeed the mouth feel of the finish is almost robust.

This wine has strucure and tannins. With ripe apples and quince flavors, it is tight, tense while also full in the mouth. A strong background of acidity gives concentration and considereable freshness at the end. Drink from 2017. (USA)
