Albert Bichot Chassagne-Montrachet 2022

Produced by the esteemed Maison Albert Bichot, the 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet is a classic Chardonnay from the southern Côte de Beaune in Burgundy. This village-level white wine opens with a lovely floral bouquet featuring aromas of brioche, hot croissant, and candied lemon, which evolve into notes of roasted hazelnut and rare spices with age. On the palate, it is bold, fleshy, and well-balanced, displaying a fine minerality and a long finish characterized by gingerbread and floral nuances. Fermented and aged for 14 to 16 months in oak barrels, it offers a sophisticated structure that pairs excellently with fine seafood, poultry in sauce, or full-flavored cheeses.
