The 2018 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru La Romanée (Maison Louis Jadot) is one of the high points of the portfolio this year, offering up a lovely bouquet of white flowers, pear, almond paste and wheat toast. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny and enveloping, with lively acids, a compelling sense of completeness and good length on the finish.

Introducing the 2017 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru La Romanée (Maison Louis Jadot) are notes of fresh melon, pear and peach mingling with nuances of drawn butter and white flowers in an incipiently complex bouquet. This is a medium to full-bodied, ample and satiny-textured wine that's vibrant, nicely concentrated and quite dramatic in style. There are just two barrels, but the wine will be worth seeking out.

The 2016 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru La Romanée was more closed compared to the en Cailleret at this stage, without the same degree of delineation and terroir expression. The palate is balanced with a fat and slightly honeyed opening, touches of almond and nutmeg infusing the light tropical tones, but it lacks tension and energy on the finish. The 2015 showed better last year.

The 2015 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru La Romanée has a lightly honeyed bouquet with scents dried apricot and dried pineapple emerging with a few swirls of the glass. The palate is well-balanced, the oak enmeshed within the citrus fruit, touch of hazelnut and spice surfacing towards the finish and lending it a Meursault-like personality. There is clearly respectable complexity here and this represents one of Maison Louis Jadot's better 2015 Chassagnes.

The 2014 Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru la Romanée offers attractive scents of citrus fruit, yellow flower and minerals, all nicely defined and gaining in intensity in the glass. The palate is fresh and vibrant with crisp acidity, just a smidgen of sour lemon that enlivens that palate, and with superb salinity and race on the finish. This is one of my favoite white premier crus from Louis Jadot this year.
