In this village Chassagne you get a clear sense of both Jean-Marc's personal winemaking style and his respect for the fruit. With a rich texture, there's plenty of distinctive toast and cream flavors from the winemaking, but they're integrated and do not distract from the peach and lemon fruit--then, a mineral savoriness and bright acid provide a freshness that balances the fruit- and winemaking-provoked richness and it all comes together. By the end of the half-bottle it was fleshing out even more, like a brown-sugar roasted peach split spiked with lemon juice, whipped cream, and toasted nuts.
