Wine in Chassagne-Montrachet

A deeply colored, full-bodied wine of depth and intensity with rich white fruit and toasted hazelnut aromas and flavors and a persistent, earthy finish. An excellent companion to fish, shellfish, veal and poultry, especially in cream sauces.

Reduction flattens the fruit but there is good freshness to lush and unctuous flavors that remain quite vibrant despite the full-on richness. There is better depth here and even a mild touch of austerity on the lingering and balanced finish. Note that thanks to the abundance of dry extract that this should be approachable and enjoyable very early on

t was a cold, drawn-out winter, some two degrees cooler than the average, though rainfall and sunshine were normal. There was one severe attack of frost on December 22nd, just before Christmas, which caused widespread damage on the upside of the main road from Beaune to Dijon. In many places the road is on higher ground, and the land dips before climbing up towards the premiers crus, thus causing a frost pocket. It is here, just as in 1985, that the damage has been done. Some vines have been killed outright; others managed a late push of vegetation which was either unproductive or far to late to be useful. This, and further depredations later in the season, have led to a crop some 25 percent or more less than the average (which is some 250,000 hectolitres, excluding generics, for the Côte d'Or).

White Burgundy, or Bourgogne Blanc, as it is often called, is made from Chardonnay grown in the Burgundy region of France. The other principal grape grown in Burgundy is Pinot Noir. Burgundy has had a long love affair with wine, starting around the 1st century AD with the Romans. Later, the Cistercian monks really put Burgundy on the map by crafting wines for the local aristocracy.

Elegant, clean and precise with exceptional balance. A true reflection of its terroir with mineral notes and excellent ageing potential.

Light green reflections, yellow straw in color. An aromatic richness of the nose is confirmed by a wide, creamy palate with fresh white fruit, honey, hazelnuts and almond. The finish is supported by the freshness of the morning sun exposure, and a stony mineral underpinning.

Subtle citrus and nose. Flinty, mineral flavored. Very dry with lots of acidity.

Fine leesy texture, soft apple fruit. Ever so slightly dilute on the finish, compared with their Maltroie. Bright, zingy finish.
