Côte de Beaune, Burgundy — Chardonnay
Style:
An elegant and expressive Premier Cru Chardonnay combining Chassagne-Montrachet’s trademark structure with finesse and freshness. “Les Chaumes” is known for producing wines with both power and refinement, and the 2023 vintage highlights purity and balance.
Appearance:
Bright pale gold with green reflections.
Nose:
Fresh and layered, showing aromas of white peach, pear, and lemon zest, lifted by notes of white flowers, crushed stone, and subtle hints of hazelnut and vanilla from well-integrated oak.
Palate:
Medium- to full-bodied with a polished, textured mouthfeel. Flavours of ripe orchard fruit and citrus are supported by vibrant acidity and a fine mineral backbone. Gentle oak influence adds roundness without masking freshness.
Finish:
Long, clean, and mineral-driven, with lingering notes of citrus, almond, and a touch of saline freshness.
A generous yet balanced vintage, offering bright fruit expression, approachable structure, and excellent harmony between ripeness and acidity.
2025–2038

A refined, terroir-driven Premier Cru Chardonnay that balances richness and precision — classic Chassagne-Montrachet with modern polish.
