Vintage Character The warm 2022 vintage in the legendary Montrachet Grand Cru appellation gave birth to the spectacular Maison Fang Montrachet Grand Cru. The 2022 growing season was marked by hot, dry summer conditions that accelerated ripening, yielding grapes with remarkable concentration while preserving a vibrant, balancing acidity due to timely late-summer rains. Situated on the boundary between Puligny and Chassagne, the iconic Montrachet slope features Bajocian limestone soils mixed with reddish marl, boasting optimal south-southeast exposure that allows Chardonnay to achieve its most profound, mineral-driven expression.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Aromas of yellow apple, ripe white peach, and Meyer lemon curd are lifted by delicate white florals and a striking, crushed-stone minerality. On the palate, this full-bodied white exhibits a rich texture with notes of toasted hazelnut, warm brioche, and fresh butter, culminating in a long, complex finish. Pair this opulent grand cru with butter-poached lobster tail, pan-seared turbot in a lemon-caper sauce, or a delicate Cantonese steamed garoupa.
