The 2012 Chassagne-Montrachet la Grand Montagne 1er Cru, which Mounir told me underwent one of the slowest malos (which must mean millennia since it is Lucien le Moine!) has a very precise, mineral-driven bouquet with hints of limestone coming through with aeration. The palate is effervescent on the entry with a keen thread of orange peel and tangerine, lovely build in the mouth towards a vibrant finish.

Ripe, sweet aromas and flavors of crystallized lemon and ginger. Like so many other of these 2012s, this boasts a very seductive balance of sucrosite and acidity. High-pitched in the mouth, offering lovely tension. Finishes long and precise, with no austerity. From a crop level of less than 20 hectoliters per hectare, according to Saouma.
