Olivier Leflaive Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru Abbaye de Morgeot, 2023, 75cl 2-set Château Haut-Batailley 5ème Cru ClasséTwo plots, picked together. Pale lemon yellow. A burst of quite fleshy white fruit on the nose. Picked early as it had hit 13% and acidities were about to start declining. This tastes fully ripe yet with plenty of energy. Waves of fruit comes across the palate. Just the oak is not completely integrated. Drink from 2028 2033. Tasted Oct 2024.
