Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Blanchot-Dessus

France
Burgundy
2021

The domaine’s vines in the premier cru Les Blanchots Dessus were planted in 1929 and they produce a wine of great depth and richness. Blanchot-Dessus is located just next to Montrachet and Criottes Batard Montrachet. 3-4 barrels produced annually, 25-33% new oak. Aged in barrel for 24 months. 30-45 g/L sulfur added at bottling.

"The Bachelet brothers produced two barrels of the brilliant 2021 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Blanchot-Dessus, a deep, serious wine redolent of mandarin oil, crisp stone fruit and pear mingled with beeswax, white flowers and toasted nuts. Full-bodied, satiny and seamless, it's concentrated and structured, concluding with a long, resonant finish."
