Country: France, Bourgogne, Cote De Beaune
Plot Size: 0.59-hectare plot.
Terroir: Very sunny, located halfway up the slope, with perfect drainage. East-by-Southeast sun exposure. Thin, stony, sodium-rich soil. White marl outcrops.
Vinification and Ageing: Whole bunches of grapes were handpicked into small crates and pressed in a pneumatic winepress. The juice was cold-settled after pressing for 12-14 hours under temperature-controlled conditions. Alcoholic fermentation and ageing took place entirely in oak barrels. 100% malolactic fermentation.
Duration of barrel ageing: 22 months
Tasting Notes: Luminous gold-green with silver reflections. The nose is fine, elegant, and airy, with great purity and subtlety. Powerful and refined. Spicy, peppery touch, enhanced by refreshing notes of candied lemon. Energy, complexity, density and sapidity perfectly describe the balance on the palate of Montrachet 2019.
Tasted in July 2021
Food Pairing: Turkey and Chicken
