The 2013 Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru les Vergers sees one-third new oak. It has a taut, quite backward, reserved and almost Puligny-like bouquet that needs to muster a little more vigor by the time of bottling. The palate is well balanced with light honeyed notes, slightly lower acidity than I expected, but a caressing finish that just slips down the throat with ease. Lovely.
