Lucien Le Moine Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru “Morgeot” 2016 (93 VM)

“Bright, light yellow. Ripe yet wonderfully detailed scents of lichee, bitter nuts and volcanic rock. A rather powerful, masculine style with a chewy texture, excellent breadth and strong underlying structure. This is actually quite closed and penetrating today, finishing with an element of crushed-stone austerity and the tannic structure of a red wine. I suspect that this premier cru will require at least five years of cellaring.”
