Vintage Character From the prestigious Chassagne-Montrachet appellation in the Côte de Beaune comes the expressive 2023 Domaine Pierre Crillon Chassagne-Montrachet. The 2023 growing season in Burgundy was defined by warm summer conditions that yielded an abundant harvest of excellent maturity, producing white wines with remarkable fruit purity and balanced freshness. Sourced from vineyards featuring classic clay-limestone soils, this Chardonnay benefits from a unique terroir that imparts both structural breadth and a distinctive, underlying chalky minerality.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing On the nose, it offers an expressive bouquet of green apple, ripe pear, and white blossoms, complemented by subtle undertones of toasted hazelnut and light butter. The palate is medium-to-full-bodied, showing a round, textured mouthfeel that is beautifully offset by vibrant acidity, leading to a long, mineral-driven finish. Pair this elegant white Burgundy with pan-seared sea scallops in butter sauce or roasted guinea fowl.
