- This wine is opulent and refined and has delicate floral, verbena, and hazelnut aromas. These prelude to a rich, toasty, and buttery palate, with balancing mineral undertones and a long, exquisite finish. The 2022 vintage was marked by intense weather, including frost, a heatwave, and drought at various growth stages. Despite these challenges, the vines produced generous quantities and a captivating balance and freshness that will appeal to wine lovers worldwide.
Gentle pressing took place in a pneumatic press, allowing perfect juice extraction without overpressing the grapes. The wine was vinified and aged in French oak barrels, with a proportion of 20% new oak. Ageing took place on the lees, lasting for 10 to 15 months, with occasional stirring contributing to the rich and complex texture.
Opulent and refined, with delicate floral, verbena, and hazelnut aromas, this wine precedes a rich, toasty, buttery palate with balancing mineral undertones and a long, exquisite finish.

| Winery | In the southern part of the Cote de Beaune lies the appellation of Chassagne Montrachet, created in 1937. It sits on a fine broad hillside, which brings out the very highest expression of Chardonnay in a style that is typically minerally yet succulent and often floral with hints of hazelnut. The grapes for this cuvee come from the 1er Cru vineyards at altitudes of between 220 and 325 meters, where vast marble quarries form a rocky front. The limestone-based soil is stony, and the complex terroir consists of Rauracian steep slopes, Callovian slopes, Argovian marls and Bathonian limestone from the summit down. The grapes are carefully harvested by hand and manually sorted. |
