We have a flight of three bottles of the following in a blind tasting:
Joseph Drouhin Chassagne-Montrachet Marquis de Laguiche 1er Cru 2018
Philippe Colin Chassagne-Montrachet En Remilly 1er Cru 2017
Christian Moreau Chablis Le Clos Grand Cru 2019
Quite unfair to feature a Grand Cru in a line up of Premier Cru, but my friend insisted on having a joker around, plus the price is equivalent to the Premier Cru, so be it. Oak presence is significant on the bouquet. Content was a bit light, with acidity being more bite. It was my choice of the flight initially, but was overtaken by En Remilly over time as En Remilly has a more lively acidity and buttery taste, more balance and rounded finishing.
The winner in this flight is the Philippe Colin Chassgne-Montrachet En Remilly 1er Cru 2017 by a far margin.
