The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Chaumées Clos St Abdon 1er Cru is very pretty on the nose: Golden Delicious, hints of yellow plum and light petrichor scents. The palate is very well balanced with a fine line of acidity, quite spicy with veins of ginger towards the composed and quite persistent finish. This is very promising. (Drink between 2024-2036). 90-92 Points
Les Chaumées vineyard is located at the edge of Chassagne-Montrachet, bordering Saint-Aubin. It is the highest positioned vineyard directly above the Premier Cru Les Vergers and Les Chenevottes. Clos Saint-Abdon refers to this big patch of land that used to be surrounded by a wall, inside Les Chaumées. Shallow soils have a higher limestone content than clay, imparting a bracing minerality. The largest portion is 50 years old. Les Chaumées is a consistent, very elegant, mineral-driven wine. Flint and smoke on the nose segue to a structured palate that showcases notes of vibrant citrus fruit and rounded edges that taper off into a focused, lingering finish. Philippe Colin have 0.4366 hectares.
