Vintage Character The outstanding 2023 vintage in the celebrated Chassagne Montrachet appellation yielded beautifully balanced whites, captured perfectly in the Domaine Larue Chassagne Montrachet. A warm growing season tempered by timely rains produced Chardonnay with vibrant acidity and optimal phenolic ripeness. Sourced from the tiny 0.51-hectare 'Le Concis du Champs' parcel, this village-level wine benefits from deep, rocky clay-limestone soils that impart both classic richness and a distinct, underlying mineral tension.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing This exquisite white Chardonnay opens with enticing aromas of crisp green apple, white peach, and delicate acacia blossoms, layered over subtle notes of warm brioche and toasted hazelnut. On the palate, a creamy, medium-to-full-bodied texture is balanced beautifully by vibrant citrus acidity, leading to a long, mineral-driven finish. Pair this elegant white Burgundy with classic French pan-seared sea bass, herb-roasted chicken, or steamed garlic scallops.
