06 ha monopole

by Giuseppe Quintarelli before his struggle with Parkinson's disease and his death at 84 in 2012

forest floor and earth nuances to be appreciated

(from leased vines that Niellon has exploited since 1988 and he believes that they were planted in 1939)

This persistent effort is a fine Gevrey villages

Morey Coffinet, Chassagne Montrachet Clos Saint Jean Rouge Brut Zero 06 ha monopole(from vines planted in 1979). Much better than the Morgeot. Lots of cherry and pinot sap, good intensity, better structure plus a real sense of flavor precision and better detail on the finish. This too will drink well early and shows excellent finesse for Chassagne. Only a lack of density prevents this from scoring higher.
