Chassagne Montrachet

From the importer: A rare white from “sol rouge,” this premier cru ‘Clos Saint-Jean’ is sourced from grapes the estate purchases. Facing east at the top of the slope, ‘Clos Sain-Jean’ delivers a white Burgundy with a savory red-wine profile, with notes of red berries and yellow stone fruit, wonderfully mouth-filling and plush.

Not your typical villages level Burgundy, this site runs contiguous with the Grand Cru Criots-Batard-Montrachet!

A jewel of a wine, selected from various estate parcels in the appellation that represent a perfect cross-section of Chassagne’s noble terroir. Ripe summer raspberries, poached cherries, baking spices; rubied fruit, suave tannins.

These grapes are from the Château’s own parcels, and after being vinified are aged in oak barrels for 15 months. Notes of petrol and exotic citrus fruit, with good acidic tension and palate-staining flavors. Bright acids keep everything in balance.
