Tasting notes
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.
Food and wine pairing
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.

Origins
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.
Vinification and maturing
Vintage : 2022
The harvest, running from 25 August to 16 September. The grapes were beautifully healthy, with varying degrees of ripeness depending on the exposure.
Balanced, honest white wines. Maturing ought to bring just the right degree of roundness to red wines with varying qualities, depending on the maturity of each plot. We have both sophisticated, fruity red wines with a good Burgundy tension as well as rich, warmer ones.
A pleasant vintage in terms of quality with excellent yields for both whites and reds. The vinification choices have been crucial as to whether to favour acidity or the alcoholic degree.
