Note di degustazione
The 2017 Chassagne-Montrachet Tête du Clos 1er Cru is showing a lot of reduction on the nose and it is difficult to see through the terroir. There’s a touch of struck match here. Likewise, the palate is reduced and sultry, but there is balance and fruit concentration. This is one of those wines that could burst open after several years. If you have a bottle, don’t think about touching it. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting in Savigny-lès-Beaune.

A little closer to the village, above Morgeot. Part of Morgeot in fact. Very calcaire and mineral. Barrel sample. Intensely aromatic – sweet fruit and spicy. Rich and spicy citrus fruit. Yeasty but not oaky. Deep and rich and almost honeyed but of course it’s bone dry and there’s a stony complement to all that fruit. (JH)
Spicy nose is going through a slightly oxidative phase (this wine is lower in total sulfur today than the Abbaye de Morgeot and Les Baudines). Very rich and pliant but salty and hard to assess today, with its peachy yellow fruits in the background. This densely packed, nutty wine finishes with terrific grip, excellent length and a powerful impression of dry extract. These vines are 50 to 60 years of age and struggling, Leroux told me. There's barely 20 centimeters of topsoil here and the vines don't look healthy but they produce very concentrated grapes, added Leroux, who refers to this wine as his "baby grand cru." (13% alcohol)
