Once again there is a hint of residual sulfur and it's enough to suppress the aromatics today so I would suggest decanting this. Otherwise there is a rich and reasonably refined mouth feel to the generously proportioned and more subtly stony flavors that deliver good but not special complexity on the lingering finish where a hint of citrus zest arises. A wine of finesse in 2016.

The 2016 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Embazées, located on the border with Santenay, was only slightly touched by the frost. It has a lovely beeswax and honeysuckle-scented bouquet that blossoms with aeration. The palate is very well balanced with a keen thread of acidity, moderate weight and a welcome spicy edge toward the saline finish. It does not quite deliver the length, but there is plenty of personality here.- NM
