Montrachet Grand Cru

A legendary wine, a symbol and a part of Burgundy’s heritage, but also a worldwide reference for the most famous Chardonnays. A true gem, this appellation stretches across both the villages of Chassagne and Puligny (and to which the name "Mont Chauve" has been given).

Tasting

Rich, very refreshing, long and progressive, the nose develops balsamic notes with a mixture of white-fleshed fruit, almond, and spice with a hint of vanilla and coconut.
Very round and full-bodied, this wine boasts harmonious balance between its mineral structure and its remarkable length.

Food/wine pairing

Savour this Grand Cru with delicate fine fish or shellfish in sauce, smoked salmon or foie gras.
