On the first nose, a superb bouquet of white flowers is offered to us, between honeysuckle, eleagnus, carnation and jasmine, as if bathed in a delicate smoky and powdery halo. The frank notes of pear, yellow peach but also ripe mango are accompanied by a herbaceous nuance evoking chervil and mint leaf, and a spicy touch, between saffron, juniper berry and white pepper. The expression of the soil on notes of rubbed pebble and flint continues to hover above the glass.
The charm continues to work on the palate where this Chassagne unfolds in a masterful balance between a voluptuous, gourmet fruit center, around Conference pear, nectarine, Bergeron apricot, and a stony grain of great finesse, which seems to cling to each taste bud to better make us salivate. We are just as stimulated by the fine tangy bitterness evoking lime and mandarin zest. The finish is superb: the energy of the soil and the elegance of the flowers seem encapsulated in a magnificent silky and stretched texture. Sumptuous.
