Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Nov 18
The 2015 Chassagne-Montrachet Tête du Clos 1er Cru has a very attractive bouquet of white peach, honeysuckle and hints of black currant leaf, the oak neatly entwined and maintaining impressive delineation. The palate is well defined and a little oaky at the moment, but there is undoubtedly sufficient fruit behind to absorb that. I appreciate the tension interwoven throughout this Chassagne-Montrachet and the tang of salinity and spiciness on the finish, completing an excellent wine. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.
