Chassagne-Montrachet
1er Cru Blanchots
A dream vintage which offers generous volumes and superb quality. Water is a major player during the winter which allows the vines to build up their reserves before a particularly hot and dry summer. Favored by a mild spring, flowering took place perfectly with beautiful and numerous clusters. No major climatic incident hampers the growing cycle. The harvest, which was in impeccable health, took place from August 27 to September 15.
Vineyard
It is quite similar with that of the Grand Cru Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet. The vines rest on a limestone bedrock from the Middle Jurassic, like all its neighbours. There is a small layer of very fine white clays and a light and well-draining slope which makes it possible to produce very elegant and well-made wines.

Subtle wine, quite reserved at the beginning of its youth, which over time releases all the complexities of limestone and white earths.
