(92-94 points) The 2019 Chassagne-Montrachet Vergers 1er Cru was not yet bottled and was taken from vat. Good intensity on the nose, a little more malic than the Chenevottes with a palpable Puligny-like steeliness. The palate is well balanced with impressive weight, good acidity and a welcome dab of lemongrass and ginger enlivens the finish. This has great potential. -- Neal Martin

Notes of petrol and matchstick character are present on the ripe and appealingly fresh aromas of citrus confit and pretty white floral wisps. There is even better intensity and detail to the equally concentrated flavors that aren't necessarily finer, but they are a bit more stylish on the tightly wound, youthfully austere and balanced finale.
