Bachelet-Monnot Chassagne-Montrachet 2020

Country: France

Region: Burgundy

Type: White Wine

Grape: Chardonnay

From their domaine in Dezizes-les-Maranges, brothers Marc  and Alexandre Bachelet oversee an enviable catalogue of top Côte de Beaune vineyards: St. Aubin En Remilly, the top sites in Maranges, Puligny 1er Cru Folatières, Puligny 1er Cru Referts, Batard Montrachet, Chassagne Montrachet, and some of the best parcels in Santenay. Since their first vintage in 2005, they have refined their approach to farming and winemaking to the point where they are now firmly established as two of Burgundy’s finest talents. The whites go through a long press before being fermented with indigenous yeasts in larger barrels and are aged for 12 months in barrel and an additional 6 months in stainless steel tank before release.

Fruit for this Chassagne-Montrachet comes from 30-year-old sustainably-farmed vines from six different parcels across the region. Aged for 12 months in barrel + 6 months in tank.

Aromas of honeysuckle and ripe lemons. On the palate, notes of ripe stone fruit, citrus and vanilla, leading into a long finish.
