From one of Chassagne-Montrachet’s most renowned Premier Cru vineyards, this 2020 Chardonnay captures the richness and refinement of the southern Côte de Beaune. Grown on east-southeast-facing slopes, the wine displays a pale gold hue and a complex bouquet of lemon, minerals, and subtle toasted notes. Silky and full on the palate, it finishes with elegance and length—a classic expression of Premier Cru terroir.

On the south of the Cote de Beaune, the village of Chassagne became Chassagne-Montrachet in the 19th century, thereby, benefiting from the notoriety of the mythical Grand Cru which it shares with Puligny. Facing east-south-east, the vineyards are planted with both Pinot Noir and Chardonnay which produces some of the finest white wines in the world. White Chassagne-Montrachet has an intense bouquet and remarkable persistence. 

TASTING NOTE: Pale gold colour with green shades. Intense bouquet developing flavours of lemon and minerals entwined with pleasant toasted hints. Ample and silky on the palate, with a long and subtle toasted finish. A rich and elegant wine.
