- PhilosophyChassagne-Montrachet is one of the world’s top references for Chardonnay. Its poor, limestone-rich soils lend the wines assertive minerality and tautness that are complemented by richness and complexity that is developed through ageing and over time. Our Chassagne embodies the expression of these characteristics.
- Terroir This terroir is most famous for being the “golden Triangle”, delimited by the Meursault, Chassagne-Montrachet and Puligny-Montrachet appella- tions, which produce the world’s most sought-after white Grand Crus. The grapes are sourced from a plot called “Les Champs de Morjot”, located south of the village, at an altitude of approximately 230 m, below “Les Boudriottes” and “Les Morgeots”. The soil contains both marls and pe- bbles, which lend the wine perfect balance between depth and minerality.
- Vinfication and ageing The grapes were handpicked and sorted in the vineyard. Following slow pressing, the must was settled to clarify it. The juice was then transferred to barrels where it underwent fermentation under the influence of indige- nous yeasts, and lasted for up to 3 months, depending on the barrel. The wine was barrel aged on fine lees for 13 months, with a proportion of 40% new oak sourced from the Centre de la France.
- Tasting notesLovely pale yellow color. The first nose, subtle and delicate, offers elegant and fresh floral scents of verbena. Woody notes and pastry (praline brioche, hazelnut) follow. Very nice attack on the palate, round but fresh, with structured tannins, present but well integrated. Pleasant mineral tension crowned with a beautiful acidity. On the finish, aromas of redcurrant and raspberry mingle with a slight note of graphite. This beautiful wine, with a very pleasant liveliness, will reveal all its character as it ages.
