Les Chaumées Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Chardonnay 2018

9.3

2018 vintage. Picked the last two bottles at Hi-Time Wine Cellars in Costa Mesa, CA for $119 a btl. Had not seen this producer in the wild since the 1994 vintage.The namesake producer passed away years ago and the daughter has been making the wines for some time now. The old wines I was familiar with were dialed slightly down from the Coche-Dury style but still oaky and fleshy. This was more delicate, light-medium body, with floral attributes and a splash of white pepper. Saved a glass' worth and tasted the following day. Wine had gained a little weight to medium body and the complexity fanned out like a spider web on the palate whereas, beforehand, it was a steady stream of solo notes. Should have decanted but will do so with the last bottle. And yes, I asked if they had any Chenevottes or Caillerets or Maltroye or the like in the back at the time of purchase. Alas...nein. 11.4.25. — 2 months ago

Another new Bacigalupi, at least for me. I bought 3 each of the 16 & 21.
16’s are a bit oxidized so not seeing the ability to age like Rudd & Edge Hill bottling’s of BG — a month ago
