Description

92 points Vinous
"The 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Chaumées Clos de la Truffière 1er Cru has a very controlled and delineated bouquet, with citrus peel, petrichor and light apple blossom scents that gain vigor in the glass. The palate is well balanced and very cohesive, with a lively opening, orange pith and light peppery notes and admirable length on the (again) Puligny-like finish. Excellent. Tasted at merchants' 2022 Burgundy tastings in London."

Jancis Robinson
"Oaky like the Vieilles Vignes village Chassagne, a very clear house style. Chewy, oaky on the palate, too, but with bags of zesty citrus fruit at the core. Dry, finely textured finish. 17/20 points. (JH)"

Vinous Reverie Notes
Brothers Vincent and Francois Jouard have some of the best holdings in Chassagne and some of the oldest vines. This family-run estate, taken over by the Jouard brothers in 1990, existed before 1820. Francois is the winemaker and Vincent works in the vines. At 11 hectares (a little over 27 acres), they produce 95% white wines and only 5% red Chassagne-Montrachet. Very attached to their roots and the value of the soil handed down to them by their family, they reject automatic decisions and each task is adapted to each barrel. The same philosophy applies to vineyard work: sustainable viticulture with extensive plowing in order to avoid chemical weeding. The only vines that go into the Jouard estate bottlings are old vines (average over 50 years), therefore Vieilles Vignes appears on every label. All vineyards are entirely hand-harvested and only indigenous yeasts are used in the fermentations.
