There is only one (once used) barrel of the 2017 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos Saint-Jean, and the oak influence imparts a generous veneer to its bouquet of pastry cream, ripe citrus and white flowers. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with a rather rich, plump profile that will make for user friendly near-term drinking but which is unlikely to appeal to purists.
