100% Chardonnay.

Colour: shiny yellow gold with straw-coloured glints.

Nose: charming aromas of patisserie and candied fruits.

Palate: full and round, with a frank attack. The finale stands out with wooden and meringue notes.

This great Burgundy wine is complex enough to be enjoyed alone as an aperitif, but it also pairs perfectly with refined dishes such as turbot, seafood as, in particulard, lobster or even foie gras and goat cheese.

Serve ideally at a temperature situated between 13 and 14°C (55-57°F).

This wine can easily age for 8 years in good conditions.

This village appellation from the Côte de Beaune, marks along with Puligny-Montrachet and Meursault one tip of the Golden Triangle. This area produces one of the most famous white wines in Burgundy, which represent about 2/3 of the total production.

The vineyard spreads over 304 hectares, including 149 hectares of Premier Cru. Here, the diversity of soils with particular characteristics is huge, for there are 55 different Premier Cru "Climats".

This white Chassagne Premier Cru is a blend of Chardonnay grapes coming from different parcels.

Harvested by hand, then sorted in the vat room before soft pressing to extract the best quality juice. Vinification in wooden vats for greater aromatic complexity. Aged in oak barrels for 18 months, with occasional stirring to bring the lees back into suspension and reveal all the smoothness of the wine.

A proportion of 25% new oak barrels were used to bring out those seductive candied notes.
