"Blanchots Dessus, which is a village rather than premier cru parcel in this instance, lies below Criots Bâtard-Montrachet and often produces delicious wines in hotter vintages like 2017. This is very stylish for a generic Chassagne, with the focus, weight and balance of a premier cru. It’s stony and aromatic, with lovely gunflint and citrus peel notes."

"Smoky and rich, but not perhaps as opulent on the nose as their Puligny-Montrachet Les Meix. Furry, pithy texture with bitter-orange notes to finish. Has the power for the long haul." Jancis Robinson, 18/01/2019

"Clear bright pale lemon. A lovely mix of fruit, toasty barrel and the faintest touch of gunflint. Fills the mouth, maintaining a steely freshness and fine youthful bitterness. Fesh plums, very good energy and the finish has some resonance with the 1er Cru version." Jasper Morris, Jasper Morris, 01/02/2019
