Despite the intensely ripe vintage, there's plenty of elegance in this sun-drenched yet mineral, lifted Chardonnay. Matured 12 months in lightly toasted oak barrels (one-third new), it's slightly richer and nuttier than this producer's village-level Chassagne-Montrachet but maintains exhilarating yellow-pear and tart tangerine flavors. Approachable young, the wine should soar from 2025 to 2035.
