Blend: Chardonnay
From: Concis du Champ, Chassagne-Montrachet, Burgundy, France
After training at the venerable Domaine Méo-Camuzet, Olivier returned to take over his family Domaine in 1995. Olivier moved the Domaine towards high density planting (more competition amongst vines), larger oak barrels (350-600L Barrels) and minimal new oak (10-15%). The results have created wines that showcase their terroir beautifully, age gracefully, and showcase a laser like precision. This is a highly enjoyable offering from Chassagne-Montrachet. This wine can age for many years to come or is easily enjoyed after a bit of time in a decanter.
Critical Acclaim
92 points Vinous
Outer quote mark The 2019 Chassagne-Montrachet La Concis de Champs has a taut, almost Puligny-like bouquet with a touch of sea spray. The palate is harmonious on the entry and slightly waxy in texture. Plenty of dry extract lends fine persistence, and lime and green apple mingle with spice on the also Puligny-like finish. Excellent. (NM) Inner quote mark (12/2021)
89-91 points Allen Meadows - Burghound
Outer quote mark Notes of petrol, rosemary oil and various white fleshed fruit scents lead to bigger and richer though still attractively intense flavors that exude a bracing salinity on the citrusy, clean and very dry finale. This is a quality Chassagne villages. *Outstanding* Inner quote mark (6/2021)
90 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Outer quote mark The 2019 Chassagne-Montrachet Le Concis du Champs is satiny and enveloping, wafting from the glass with aromas of crisp green orchard fruit, white peach, freshly baked bread and iodine. Medium to full-bodied, bright and textural, with racy acids and a long, saline finish, it's quite open out of the gates. (WK) Inner quote mark (1/2022)
