The 2015 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru La Romanée is fabulous, offering up a lovely bouquet of musk melon, citrus zest, vanilla bean and spice. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and powerful, with a deep, layered mid-palate, succulent acids, excellent concentration and a long, searing finish. La Romanée is typically one of the rounder, more textural 1er Crus of Chassagne but at its best it also possesses a cool sense of reserve that this rendition exemplifies.
