Description

Bachelet-Monnot Chassagne-Montrachet 2022

Bachelet-Monnot's Chassagne-Montrachet 2020 is a stunning white Burgundy that showcases the elegance and complexity of the region.

Grape Varietals & Regions: The wine is a blend of Chardonnay grapes from several vineyards in the Chassagne-Montrachet appellation, all of which are sustainably farmed and hand-harvested.

Taste Profile: On the nose, the wine has aromas of lemon, peach, and vanilla, with subtle hints of toast and hazelnut. On the palate, it is full-bodied and rich, with flavors of ripe apple, honey, and a touch of minerality. The wine has a long, lingering finish with a perfect balance of acidity and fruit.

Winemaking Process: In the winery, the grapes are gently pressed and the juice is fermented with indigenous yeasts in oak barrels. The wine then ages on its lees for 12 months in a combination of new and used French oak barrels, which adds depth and texture to the wine.

Buttery & Honeyed Whites

Full-bodied fruit and spice, often with the ability to age. This style usually relies on new oak to impart vanilla driven characteristics. Malolactic fermentation & on lees ageing also contributes to the texture
