Chassagne-Montrachet 2021
Trade Tools
France / Burgundy
Full-bodied dry white wine assembled from multiple sites across this diverse village appellation. Rigorous sorting and careful vinification is followed by aging in oak barrels, with malolactic fermentation controlled to ensure a lively sensation on the palate.
Harvest Note
The 2021 vintage was memorable for the extreme challenges it posed to growers. The defining event was a hard freeze in April which lasted several days, and the subsequent dramatic reduction in harvest volumes. Added to this were cool and wet summer conditions which required constant vigilance. The delayed harvest eventually yielded tiny volumes of pristine grapes which express a vibrant and energetic purity.

About the Grape
Chardonnay
Though it has a distinctive profile, Chardonnay reflects other factors such as soil composition and vinification technique. Chardonnay is a reliable, hardy and prolific vine whose only real vulnerabilities are frost and uneven development of fruit.
