2024, Maison Benjamin Leroux, CHASSAGNE-MONTRACHET, 'Tête du Clos'Mid lemon yellow. This is thoroughly opulent, with some tropical fruits, more exotic than peaches. But it is really a lovely wine with also a vibrant energy. The style takes it away from Chassagne typicity, but as long as you know what to expect. Mandarins and kumquat even, plus some yellow peaches too. Very long finish. Drink from 2029 2035. **** 92 95 Jasper Morris MW The 2024 Chassagne Montrachet Tte du Clos 1er Cru has quite a generous bouquet

There is much more grip on the finish compared to the 2021 last year

There is still the grip of the vintage in terms of its structure

and nicely focused
