Burghound: 90-92 Points
Here the Pear William and floral-suffused nose is somewhat phenolic in character (think olive oil nuances) though it may not last as this character often dissipates with more time in barrel. There is outstanding richness to the full-bodied and relatively powerful flavors that coat the palate with sap all wrapped in a lingering complex and balanced finish where a touch of wood appears. My sense is that this will harmonize in time.
Wine Advocate: 88-90 Points
The 2015 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Chenevottes has a slightly earthier bouquet compared to the Les Vergers at the moment perhaps more aloof and distant. Hints of grass clipping and Granny Smith apples emerge with time. The palate is fresh and clean on the entry an elegant Chenevottes with good depth hints of praline and almond towards the understated finish although I personally prefer the energy conveyed by the Les Vergers. What you might describe as a "placid" Chassagne-Montrachet. Neal Martin
Vinous: 90 Points
The 2015 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Chenevottes 1er Cru has a clean precise bouquet of tropical scents (white peach and a touch of passion fruit) kept on a tight leash so that terroir and mineralité can still be discerned. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity that slices through the lightly honeyed fruit. It lacks some tension toward the brioche and canned apricot finish but there is adequate length and freshness. Drink over the next four or five years. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting. -- Neal Martin
