Description

Bachelet-Monnot 1er La Fussiere Blanc 2022

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Chardonnay, coming from the premier cru site of La Fussière. It is the largest climat of Maranges (next to Santenay at the very south of the Côte de Beaune), covering an area of almost 35 hectares. It faces south towards the start of the Côte Chalonnaise, on a slope between 290 and 400 metres up. The vines were planted in the 1980s at the highest elevation point in the appellation

Taste Profile: Expect a white Burgundy of striking finesse, pear and nectarine fruit and a long, delicately chalky finish. The well-defined bouquet offers yellow fruit, lanolin and light sea spray aromas. The palate is taut and fresh with a twist of sour lemon on the entry, quite precise and focused with a sapid finish urging you to take another sip

Bright & Mineral Whites

From the limestone character of Sancerre to the green, herbaceous Sauvignon Blanc of Marlborough, this style group often shows off cut grass and wet stone. Often associated with coastal regions or limestone based terroir, these wines are characterised with crisp acidity, mineraiity, citrus tones, with a hint of grassiness
