2022 Benoit Moreau Chassagne Montrachet Premier Cru La Maltroie
€245
VAT included.
Nestled in the heart of Burgundy's Côte de Beaune, Chassagne-Montrachet is a revered wine village, celebrated for its exceptional white wines made from the noble Chardonnay grape. This village, along with Puligny-Montrachet and Meursault, forms the prestigious 'Golden Triangle' of white wine production in the region.
The terroir of Chassagne-Montrachet is characterised by a variety of soils, including limestone, clay and marl, which provide an environment in which Chardonnay thrives. The vineyards, often at different altitudes and with different exposures, contribute to the nuanced and complex character of the wines.
Chassagne-Montrachet winemakers use traditional techniques, gently pressing the grapes and often fermenting and ageing the wines in oak barrels. This approach imparts richness, texture and subtle oak nuances to the wines.
Chassagne-Montrachet whites are renowned for their opulence, complexity and delicate balance of fruit, acidity and minerality. Aromas and flavours range from citrus to orchard fruits, complemented by hazelnut notes and occasional floral or toasted undertones from the oak ageing process.
