Appellation: CHASSAGNE - MONTRACHET Vmtage: 2023 
Grape: 100% Chardonnay Age of the vines: 30 to 50 years 
Serving Temperature: between 9° to 11°
Shelf life of wine: 2 to 5 years 
Vinification: Aged in 100% oak barrels for 12 months, 35% of which are new. The grape juice is placed in barrels for alcoholic and malolactic fermentation, using indigenous yeasts and bacteria. The wine is then matured on its lees until the next harvest. After racking, the barrels are assembled and left in vats for a few months before bottling. 
Tasting notes: This wine is the Chardonnay grape dressed in glittering gold! It boasts firm coloration with green highlights. Aromas of mayflower, acacia, and honeysuckle blend with verbena and hazelnut and in some cases toast or fresh butter. This wine boasts a profound minerality (flint). Age brings in notes of honey or ripe pear. Rounded and often opulent, its attack is instantaneous. On the palate, fleshiness is matched by mellowness, and both are equally persistent. 
Food paring: Its opulence and power make it an ideal partner for delicate fine white meats such as poultry or veal in sauce. Fish, either in well-spiced couscous or in Asian dishes such as curries or stir-fries, are also well-suited. Salmon, in itself highly aromatic, harmonizes particularly well. The Premiers Crus appellations will readily complement crawfish, lobster, or even foie gras. 
Location: In the southern part of the Cote de Beaune Chassagne-Montrachet shares with Puligny the uncontested title of the prince of the world's dry white wines: the divine Montrachet (pronounced "Monrachay"). This fine, broad hillside brings out the very highest expression of the two Burgundian grapes - the Pinot Noir and the Chardonnay, which grow here side-by side - such is the complexity of the region's soils! Extensive marble quarries, which form a kind of cliff face, were the source of the pink and beige flagstones which went into the building of the Trocadero in Paris and more recently the Louvre Pyramid. The Chassagne- Montrachet AOC dates from 1937. It includes some plots in the neighbouring village of Remigny which share the same soil conditions. 
Soils: At altitudes between 220 and 325 metres, the succession of rocks from the top down is first rauracien then callovien and finally argovien. The soil of the various Climats (named plots with distinctive qualities) ranges from pebbly limestones, through marls, to sandy soils with a Jurassic basis.
