Vincent Girardin Chassagne Montrachet Blanchot Dessus 1er Cru 2020 [NET]

$19999

Blanchot-Dessus is a tiny Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru that sits just below Le Montrachet itself — borrowing some of that grand cru magic in scale and intensity. Vincent Girardin built his négoce reputation on sourcing top white Burgundy parcels and shepherding them through the cellar with precision, and this is one of the most coveted bottlings in the lineup. The 2020 vintage gave Burgundy concentration alongside fresh acidity, a combination that suits this site beautifully. A serious white Burgundy for serious occasions.

"The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet Blanchot-Dessus 1er Cru come across a bit sultry on the nose despite coaxing. White flowers, fresh white linen and citrus scents eventually emerge. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, fresh and quite saline, perhaps it just need a little more complexity towards the finish, but otherwise this is well-crafted." —Neal Martin

"The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Blanchots Dessus is especially good, bursting with aromas of orange zest, crisp stone fruits, white flowers, nutmeg and beeswax. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and seamless, it's deep, concentrated and complex, with an impressive sense of completeness, concluding with a long, saline finish." —William Kelley
