No premox here as this was an exceptional bottle. It had the pungent minerality that made me think more of Puligny than Chassagne. Beautiful, mineral attack with marked acidity and freshness. As the wine opened, my only nit is that it became a bit more compressed and the finish wasn't as long as it might have been. But overall, a beautiful bottle of Chassagne drinking close to peak. Also worth noting was the non-peroxide (and long!) cork was in great shape with little if any seepage up the sides.
