"Jean-Marc refers to this wine as the Volnay of Chassagne for it’s elegance and affinity with Pinot Noir. It offers a pretty nose, with impressive depth of flavour and an elegant structure." Armit Wines

"Jean-Marc refers to this wine as the Volnay of Chassagne for it’s elegance and affinity with Pinot Noir. Delicately pretty and focused, wild strawberry, raspberry, and subtle spice, complemented by a savoury undertone, finishing with notable density and poise." Armit Wines

"A delicate nose of white peach and a creamy texture on the palate. Located on the Santenay side of the village, the higher clay content in the soil imparts power and structure while retaining vibrant freshness and salinity." Armit Wines

"Red clay with large pebbles provides depth and precision to the wine. Ripe white peach fruit with finesse unfolds beautifully on the palate, leading to a long, graceful finish." Armit Wines

"The limestone-dominant 1er Cru produces a precise wine with enticing notes of white peach. Finishes intensely and lingers beautifully." Armit Wines

"The plot is south-facing and limestone-rich. Extremely dense and intense, with rich notes of browned butter and ground almonds flirting with marzipan, balanced by thrilling acidity." Armit Wines

Although it's showing the density and commanding presence of a Grand Cru, it's still quite shy with savoury notes of dried ginger and a spicy finish.

"A toastier nose than Criots with excellent opulence and precision. Generous density and concentration fully meet our Grand Cru expectations, completed by a long dark honey finish." Armit Wines 

"With 90 cm of clay, this is the deepest of their clay-dominant Grand Crus. Rich, buttery, dense, and intense, a serious wine that finishes long and grippy. Impressive ageing potential." Armit Wines

"Super restrained yet beautiful. It’s more about balance and texture at this stage. ‘Discreet but present,’ as Jean-Marc says. A classy Montrachet: understated, elegant, and not exuberant." Armit Wines
