Benjamin Leroux Chassagne Montrachet Blanc 2015

Tasting Notes

'Medium yellow; these 2015s show pale, healthy colors. Explosive pear and peach aromas lifted by a floral topnote. Nicely concentrated and shapely, with the flavors of peach, pear and flowers showing a trace of alcoholic warmth. Saline and a touch dry on the finish, the latter probably due to the recent sulfur addition. Offers a nice combination of richness and healthy acidity. " 89-91 points, Stephen Tanzer, Vinous.com

'A pungent and difficult nose is composed of post-malo lactic and reductive aromas. On the plus side there is excellent richness to the very generously proportioned middle weight flavors that possess a caressing mouth feel before terminating in a solidly complex and persistent finish. This is a very competent villages though I underscore that my projected range offers the benefit of the doubt on the nose. " 88-91 points, Allen Meadows, Burghound issue 67
