The 2016 Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru les Baudines has a tightly coiled bouquet that is less expressive than the Les Embazées at the moment. There is a nuttiness here that renders it not unlike a Meursault. The palate is well balanced with a crisp line of acidity, harmonious and poised with a subtle touch of ginger toward the pretty finish. This is a success considering the difficult growing season.
Producer
Maison Benjamin Leroux
Young, talented, and more than ambitious winemaker, Benjamin Leroux has finally said goodbye to his role as head vintner at Domaine Comte Armand in Pommard, and instead, decided to follow his own dream. Following his multi-national oenology studies, he began purchasing organic fruit back in 2007 to produce his own wines, and his passion and reputation has just grown exponentially since. Focusing exclusively on his négociant since June 2014, it has grown into a rather large producer of Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune, he even acquired some vineyards of his own. As one of the most gifted wine growers in the whole Côte d’Or region, he is also one of the most knowledgeable of the Burgundy appellation. He works closely with vineyards that produce amazing fruit, regardless of the estates’ reputations or connotations.
