The wine region of Chassagne-Montrachet
Burgundian jewel of great whites in the Côte de Beaune: signature Chardonnay as king white - green-gold with bronze hues, ample and refined with notes of candied citrus, peach, pineapple, honey, grilled hazelnut, almond, brioche and flinty minerality, fat-freshness balance, long ageing (10-20 years). Structured Pinot Noir red historically dominant (cherry, raspberry, spice, firm tannins). AOC (1937), 3 shared Grands Crus (Montrachet, Bâtard, Criots), 51 Premiers Crus.
The wine region of Burgundy
Absolute reference for great terroir wines: opulent, mineral Chardonnay in whites (chiselled Chablis, buttery Meursault, majestic Montrachet), fine and silky Pinot Noir in reds (full-bodied Gevrey, structured Pommard, delicate Volnay). Exceptional age-worthy wines with complex notes - red fruits, undergrowth, butter, hazelnut. Some lively Aligoté and light Gamay (Mâconnais). 29,500 ha, 84 tiered AOCs (Régionale, Village, 1er Cru, Grand Cru), 1,247 UNESCO Climats.
The word of the wine: Film maceration
A technique that consists of leaving the grapes to macerate in the open air at a low temperature before fermentation, thus enhancing the aromatic expression of the wine.
