Only 36 bottles shipped. Leroux calls Tête du Clos the “Chevalier-Montrachet of the south.” It’s one of the many sub-climats of Morgeot and lies at the vineyard’s apex, where the soil is very rocky. In fact, there’s barely 20 centimetres of topsoil, with white clay and plenty of limestone on the surface. It’s about the same altitude as Les Embazées but showcases an entirely different expression of Chassagne—both richer and more mineral (hence the Chevalier reference). Leroux’s 0.4-hectare old-vine parcel (planted in 1955) produces small, concentrated clusters. This brings genuine depth of fruit to wine and helps it live up to its baby-Grand-Cru reputation. The 2024 is deep, rich, and more exotic in the fruit than the other whites in 2024. Powerful, hedonistic and very long.
