"Chassagne-Montrachet sharpened!
This cuvée is richly expressive, with pleasant aromas of wild strawberry, morello cherry and raspberry on the nose. The palate is full-bodied, with notes of spice and pepper. In its youth, it's best to open it a little in advance, so that the wine reveals all its character and richness.

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated 91/100 (Vintage 2019)
Domaine rated (guide 2021) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the domain :
Bertrand Bachelet, a young winemaker since 2011, heads up this 13-hectare estate spread from Maranges to Pommard. Sustainable viticulture and cordon de Royat are de rigueur here, as are massal selections developed on the estate's oldest vines. A range characterized by wines with ripe, intense fruit. The reds, which account for the vast majority of production, are vinified de-stemmed in concrete vats and boast silky tannins, while the whites, without bâtonnage, offer roundness and juicy, honeyed orchard fruit aromas.
