Les Baudines sits near the tree line on poorer, rocky clay with a particularly high limestone content, giving the wine a fine-boned, mineral-driven character. The 2024 shows lemon, white peach and green apple alongside citrus zest, white flowers and pronounced stony notes, with subtle reduction and spice adding complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eOn the palate, it is medium-bodied and beautifully focused, with vibrant acidity supporting layers of citrus, orchard fruit and delicate stone fruit. Lemon and green apple are complemented by white peach and subtle floral notes, while the limestone-rich site contributes a pronounced chalky and saline mineral character. The texture is ripe and gently pulpy but remains tensile and energetic, with fine spice and restrained oak adding depth without overwhelming the fruit. The finish is dry, long and finely detailed, with lingering citrus, crushed-stone and saline notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBen’s Recommendation:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eAt Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Chardonnay drinkers who enjoy precise Burgundy whites with freshness, mineral detail and understated richness. The 2024 vintage is still youthful, but its energy, acidity and fine structure give it excellent potential to develop additional savoury and nutty complexity in bottle. Best enjoyed from around 2029–2035. Serve lightly chilled with seared scallops with brown butter, butter-poached marron, grilled turbot with beurre blanc, roast chicken with morels, or mushroom and leek risotto.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eInfo\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"846\" style=\"height: 119.563px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 19.5938px; text-align: center; width: 329.507px;\"\u003eCOUNTRY\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px; text-align: left; width: 343.653px;\"\u003eFrance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px; text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 19.5938px; text-align: center; width: 329.507px;\"\u003ePRODUCER\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px; width: 343.653px;\"\u003eBenjamin Leroux\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px; text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 19.5938px; text-align: center; width: 329.507px;\"\u003eVARIETY\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px; width: 343.653px;\"\u003eChardonnay\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 21.5938px; text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 21.5938px; text-align: center; width: 329.507px;\"\u003eSTYLE\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 21.5938px; width: 343.653px;\"\u003eWhite Wine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px; text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 19.5938px; text-align: center; width: 329.507px;\"\u003eVINTAGE\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px; width: 343.653px;\"\u003e2024\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 19.5938px; text-align: center; width: 329.507px;\"\u003eSIZE\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px; text-align: left; width: 343.653px;\"\u003e750ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Benjamin Leroux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67888188883259,"sku":"26404-750","price":469.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/6779\/7699\/files\/2024BenjaminLerouxChassagne-Montrachet1erCruLesBaudines.jpg?v=1793704167","url":"https:\/\/winemore.com.au\/products\/2024-benjamin-leroux-chassagne-montrachet-1er-cru-les-baudines","provider":"Wine More Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
