Chassagne Montrachet Wine

Chassagne-Montrachet wine is a cornerstone of Côte de Beaune, taking the familiar grape varietals Chardonnay and Pinot Noir and propelling them to almost incomprehensible levels of quality and intensity. The soil around this region is absolutely saturated with limestone, but there is also a healthy amount of red gravel which helps Pinot Noir reach its full potential. The dry, warm summers and cold winters define the continental climate that envelops Côte de Beaune, and you can smell the weather in the air, as raw life force surges through the land and sends chills down your spine.

The flavors of Chassagne-Montrachet wines will have you imagining a royal feast, bowls filled to the brim with ripe, succulent apricot, juicy kiwi, while fresh, plushy toast drips with hot butter. The whole experience is given additional depth by the mineral influence of the region’s terroir, an homage to the fine soil that helped produce these masterpieces. Expect to lose sleep as you unravel the mysteries of Chassagne-Montrachet in your mind, slowly and carefully, savoring each sensation to its fullest. Anyone who experiences these wines becomes infatuated almost immediately, as the glass speaks to something primal and emotional within.

2023 Jean-Claude Bachelet et Fils Chassagne Montrachet Premier Cru Blanchot Dessus

The Bachelet brothers produced three barrels of the brilliant 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Blanchot-Dessus from this parcel, planted in 1927 right below Le Montrachet. Unwinding in the glass with notes of peach, white currants, toasted nuts, flowers and beeswax, framed by a deft touch of reduction, it’s full-bodied, satiny and pure, with a beautifully deep, seamless core of fruit, racy acids and a long, mineral finish.Robert Parker Wine Advocate | 95 RPMid lemon yellow. While there is an immediate suave richness to the fruit, the stones poke through. Beautifully balanced with grace and energy, a few lemons interspersed with a raft of orchard fruit, brilliantly persistent yet with nuances all the way through. Keeps coming back. Drink from 2029-2036. Tasted Oct 2024.Jasper Morris | 93-96 JMOnce again moderate wood sets off pretty aromas of white flower, passion fruit, spice and petrol. The gorgeously textured and caressing, if not particularly dense, larger-bodied flavors flash focused power on the compact, stony and hugely long finale. This is terrific and a wine that should amply repay up to a decade of keeping. I would add that this wine is almost always the best 1er in the Bachelet range and it appears as though it will be in 2023 as well.Burghound | 92-94 BHThe 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet Blanchot-Dessus 1er Cru plays with a subtle reduction on the nose. It has good intensity with more complexity than the other Chassagne Premier Crus. The palate is fresh and saline, combining a twist of sour lemon mixed with desiccated orange peel. It’s a little short on the finish compared to the 2022, yet it still exudes class.Vinous Media | 91-93 VM
