Overview: A beautifully crafted white Burgundy showing poise, complexity, and finesse from the heart of Chassagne-Montrachet, crafted entirely from Chardonnay. The wine balances refined oak influence with vibrant fruit purity and stony tension, delivering a classic Côte de Beaune expression that feels both immediately charming and quietly age-worthy.
Aromas & Flavors: Refined vanilla, lemon zest, buttered toast, ripe stone fruits, subtle hazelnut, and a clean thread of crushed stone minerality.
Mouthfeel: Dry and layered with polished texture, medium+ acidity keeping the palate lifted and precise. Subtle oak frames citrus, apricot, and a touch of honey through a long, elegant finish with excellent balance and clarity.
Food Pairings: Roast or cream-finished poultry, lobster or crab with drawn butter, scallops in beurre blanc, creamy pasta sauces, aged Comté or Gruyère.
Personal Pick: This is the kind of Burgundy I reach for when I want quiet luxury in the glass — refined, composed, and endlessly drinkable without shouting for attention. Beautiful now, but absolutely one I’d happily cellar a few bottles to watch it evolve.
Verdict: Sophisticated, layered, and textbook Chassagne character. A strong buy for lovers of structured yet graceful white Burgundy with real aging potential.
🍷 Did You Know?: Chassagne-Montrachet is one of Burgundy’s rare villages that excels equally in both red and white wines, yet its limestone-rich soils and gentle slopes consistently deliver some of the world’s most age-worthy and mineral-driven Chardonnay expressions. — 8 months ago
Pale lemon with aromas of citrus, stone fruits and honey floral notes. On the palate flavors of apple, melon and lemon citrus with notes of honey and spice. Medium+ finish, vivid acidity and ends with mineral spice. Nice! — 3 years ago
Under the radar producer that makes wines that are so approachable right out the gate. Graphite, apple core and flint on the nose. Acid and fruit are well balanced throughout the entire palate. Has a finish that goes on for 45sec. — 6 years ago
