Hubert & Olivier Lamy Chassagne-Montrachet Les Macherelles 1er Cru 2021

WineSaint
Orange peel and wet limestone on the nose show promise, but the palate reveals the vintage's challenges. Citrus pith and mineral drive start well, then fade into a lean, somewhat empty finish. The characteristic Chassagne richness is muted here, likely from frost damage that curtailed the wine's natural development.
