2023 Chassagne-Montrachet Blanc Les Blanchots Dessous, Domaine Coffinet-Duvernay

This is the small plot of 1er Cru which lies next to Montrachet itself. It’s possibly the most backward wine in the line up on the day I taste. Despite there being more limestone in the soil and the wine having a lovely compact minerality to it, it also has a broad framework which is more in keeping with a Grand Cru. This is very much the proverbial coiled spring waiting to unleash itself on the world. Great potential. Drink from 2030
