untamed fruit flavors

The old vines offer intensity in the wine without dialing up the fruit notes

There is even more intensity and vibrancy to the sleek and refined middle weight flavors that are shaped by a slightly firmer tannic backbone on the mildly austere but persistent finish

2017 Domaine Benjamin Leroux Chassagne Montrachet Abbaye de Morgeots 1er Cru nickelandnickel untamed fruit flavors(91 93) Vinous Pale yellow. Graceful nose offers scents of pear and menthol lifted by a floral topnote. At once silky, juicy and bone dry, showing a light floral touch and lovely subtle intensity. The slowly building back end is very dry but not austere. This notably harmonious wine is distinctly more floral than Leroux's Meursault bottlings.
