Release Notes:

Price : $59.00  Qty:  Item No. : 14218  Our Rating : 92  Country : France  Region : Chassagne Montrachet  Grape : Chardonnay  Alcohol : 13%

Located in the southern part of the Côte d’Or, Chassagne-Montrachet offers fuller-bodied wines than its cousin Puligny-Montrachet. The vines grow in a mixture of clay, sand and chalk soils, and their grapes are hand-harvested. The juice is fermented in French oak barrels (20% new) and then matures for 10 months in oak before bottling.

Tasting Notes:

A golden straw color. A nice bouquet of almond, honey and white flowers in the nose. The palate confirms this complexity with floral and vanilla flavors leading to a refreshingly round and clean finish. Drink now to 2013 with grilled chicken, Caesar salad, white fish, crab cakes, roasted poultry or lobster.
