2015 Lucien Le Moine Chassagne-Montrachet La Romanée 1er Cru

(in barrel): Aromas of pear drop, lime, menthol and crushed rock, plus a sweeter suggestion of crème brûlée . Quite tight, brisk and backward, with penetrating acidity cutting through the sappy fruit. This wine boasts an exhilarating balance of sweetness and acidity. Finishes with an almost solid impression of dry extract and outstanding energy and persistence. But this very youthful wine is more aggressive today than the Caillerets and still needs more élevage .
