Wine Critic Reviews
The 2016 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Grandes Ruchottes was just a single (used) barrel because of the frost. It seemed to have a little more pizzazz and energy than the Caillerets on the nose, likewise the palate has superb energy and tension, with hints of peach and blackcurrant with a very harmonious finish. Try to find one of 300 bottles.

(just a single one-year-old barrel produced--and bottled by hand): Ripe aromas of apple and spices, plus a whiff of resiny oak. Dense and thick but sappy too, with its distinct impression of sucrosité countered by strong lemony acidity. Some very ripe notes here, but drier on the finish today than the Morgeot. A bit youthfully disjointed and in need of cellaring
