Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting, the 2014 Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru les Baudines from Benjamin Leroux was showing some noticeable reduction on the nose, and although I initially did not quite get both hands on the terroir as I expected to when I originally tasted the wine from barrel, it soon gained clarity and a seam of mineralité. The palate is fresh and crisp, quite tensile with a pleasant bitterness toward the finish that gently fans out. This is a superb Les Baudines whose energy should see it age for many years. Tasted September 2017.
