Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2012 tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru La Grand Montagne is slightly smudged on the nose with light lime and tertiary notes that seem very "contained". The palate is medium-bodied with a pleasant tangy note on the entry thanks to the orange peel and light spice notes, but it does not really follow through with sufficient conviction, missing some delineation on the finish that prevents it from meriting a higher score.
