The sleeker and more intense big-bodied flavors possess excellent delineation that carries over to the naturally sweet

cassis and plum that exhibit interesting wisps of leather and smoke

or had their crops sold off to be unceremoniously blended into white Zinfandel

It's a lovely wine

I have also tasted several other examples that have shown similarly if not quite as fresh while meriting scores of between 93 and 94 points

Bernard Moreau, Chassagne Montrachet Clos Saint Jean Vintage:2019 The sleeker and more intenseA more reticent nose timidly offers up note of resin, rosemary oil, grapefruit and poached pear. The medium bodied flavors offer a step up in intensity and mid palate density while exhibiting just a bit better depth and persistence on the lingering finish. This has an interesting texture that is almost oily yet there is very good energy.
