Vincent et François Jouard Chassagne-Montrachet Les Chaumées Clos de la Truffière Vieilles Vignes 1er Cru 2015

92+/100 PP

"The 2015 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Chaumées Clos de la Truffière from the Jouard brothers is very attractive, wafting from the glass with notes of buttered apples, mint, mandarin oil and subtle frangipane. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, nicely concentrated and very mineral—almost saline—at the core and on the finish. While it\'s open for inspection, this seems to be holding the most in reserve of all Jouard\'s 1er crus in the 2015 vintage."
