Chassagne-Montrachet
Blanchots
A demanding vintage. 2023 is now seen as the hottest year with the temperatures above seasonal averages. This vintage is also characterized by significant water deficit during the growing season and strong disease pressure. We also noticed strong heterogeneities in maturity with dynamics that are difficult to anticipate. The harvest was generous, allowing us to carry out a thorough sorting, especially on the Pinot Noir.

Tasting
Tasting note
A delicately pastry-like wine, with notes of brioche and orange blossom, offering great finesse. The acidity on the attack brings tone, followed by a very straight frame that perfectly structures the whole. An elegant and refined balance.

Ideal with grilled red mullets or vegetables stuffed with crab meat.
