Description

Naudin Pere Et Fils Chassagne Montrachet 2020

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Chardonnay from the famed Chassagne Montrachet village in the southeast of Côte d’Or. Vines are grown on calcareous soil with clay.

Taste Profile: Deep golden yellow color. Powerful aromas of yellow fruit & white floral characters. On the palatte, round and rich with fine tannins to provide a powerful yet well balanced & long lasting finish

Winemaking Process: Hand harvested, it undergoes destemming & long vatting with manual cap punching & pneumatic pressing. Fermentation is done in stanless steel vats, with maturation in 20% new oak barrels

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

Malolactic fermentation

MLF is a process that results in reduction in acidity & the production of buttery texture & taste profile, often applied to more bodied styles of red & white wines
While not all creamy whites or rich fruity reds undergo MLF, and can adopt similar profiles from barrel ageing,
