"A stunning, texturally rich Chassagne that elongates and expands in the mouth - a great sign of the potential for Les Parcellaires de Saulx (and this is from a premier cru better known for its reds). We don't know which grower of Clos St Jean this comes from, but I love the balance of salinity and rich, fleshy stone fruits. A great quality wine, only the second vintage to be produced.
