Reviewed January 2024Colin farms three parcels of Les Vergers that total 0.70 hectares. The vines are down the slope from Les Chaumées on slightly flatter land. The result is richer than either of the cuvées of Les Chaumées; it avoids heaviness, but it is almost tropical with a ripe pear and passionfruit aroma and suggestion of fresh butter that comes out on the palate. There is a well-balanced richness here and a rewardingly long finish.(CC)

Vinous
The 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Vergers 1er Cru has a slightly chalky bouquet with hints of linseed and walnut in the background. Backward initially, it soon "warms up" in the glass. The palate is very well-balanced with a smooth, slightly creamy texture counterbalancing acidity, keeping this on its toes. There's still a patina of new oak to be subsumed (20%), so afford this a couple of years in bottle.(NM)

The primrose yellow aspect is a little more pronounced. A more opulent bouquet here, with considerable tension though on the palate. Does it fill out the middle? I think more a question of backwardness. This does build really quite nicely, a trace of lime associated with the fresh mirabelles, and good length. Drink from 2027-2035.

Burghound
Note: from 2 parcels in Les Vergers proper and another in Pasquelles. A cooler and more restrained nose is comprised by notes of mineral reduction, lemon zest and a floral top note. The sleeker if not denser middleweight flavors also possess a lovely sense of tension and vibrancy that carries over to the stonier and youthfully austere well-balanced finish. This too could use better depth so I would suggest planning to cellar it for at least a few years first. Worth considering.*Burghound Outstanding!*
Notes
Bill Nanson Burgundy Report: "‘Mid-slope with a bit more clay than the last so it’s more full-bodied’ – sitting below Les ChauméesAn extra vibrant width of aroma. A supple extra depth to this texture. Broad middle flavour a little more golden style to this beautiful flavour. Delicious wine." (01/2024)
