The 2018 Massetino is Merlot with a dash of Cabernet Franc that makes all the difference in terms of the wine's aromatic precision and its overall staying power

tobacco and cigar box profile and scorched cherry finish

This does however need to develop more depth so I would suggest allowing it at least a few years of bottle age first

Pierre Yves Colin Morey, Chassagne Montrachet Chenevottes other_regions The 2018 Massetino is Merlot(from Les Bondues). Soft whispers of matchstick and smoke add a bit of breadth to the ripe white fleshed fruit aromas that are trimmed in a deft application of wood. The delicious and nicely vibrant medium bodied flavors possess both a finer texture as well as slightly better precision if not quite the same richness, all wrapped in a bitter lemon suffused finish. I like the balance and generosity, and this should age effortlessly.
