2012 Vincent Dancer Tete du Clos

"The 2012 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Tete du Clos comes from the highest part of the Morgeot vineyard, the vines planted in 1954. Here, there is a discernable Meursault character that percolates through with grilled walnut and smoke emerging from the glass. (Vincent puts this down to the soil, which bears similarities to that appellation). With time, there is a cheeky scent of aniseed that pops up unexpectedly. The palate is well-balanced with abundant ripe apricot and passion fruit lining the entry, well judged acidity and impressive harmony and focus toward the finish. This is just a delicious Chassagne-Montrachet with class to spare." - 93/100 Wine Advocate
