The 2019 vintage for Chassagne-Montrachet was a turbulent growing season, marked by a lack of soil moisture and poor fruit set, which significantly diminished harvest volumes. Frost episodes and capricious flowering further reduced yields but ultimately concentrated the aromas. A hot summer induced water stress, delaying maturity but maintaining good acidity, resulting in small berries with naturally high sugar levels. This Thomas Morey Chassagne-Montrachet Les Baudines 1er Cru 2019 offers a delightful profile, described as open and approachable with a subtle sweetness of fruits. Expect sunny notes, a hint of honey, and a focused, precise palate showcasing flavors of peach and yellow fruits.
