A reduced nose of spent match preludes lemon curd, crushed stone, and a slight — and pleasant — exotic quality. Excellent tension and texture to the citrus & stone flavors carried by the medium-light body. The 2012 Les Chaumées punches above its weight. Drink now through 2030.

A fairly soft profile but with reasonable definition on the palate. Was hoping for more structure. Sufficient acid, but the fruit currently defines this wine.

Wines for the Super 15 Final: A nice bouquet of river boulders, fresh white flowers and minerals, also with a little sulphur hanging around. A sweet entry, followed by stone fruit, wet stone, citric and mineral flavours. Rich and dense, with good volume, but fresh, showing nice acidity and focus. Good depth, detail and length. The guys have this initially as a Puligny and are surprised, at this quality, it is a Chassagne. Drinking very well now, I'm not sure this will make old bones. I'd drink in the medium term.

No specific notes taken. Very enjoyable and approachable now. Will get better yet.
