Pascal Clément Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru Baudines 2017
Chassagne Montrachet, Côte de Beaune, Côte d'Or, Burgundy, FranceBorn into a family of growers and winemakers, Pascal had more than 20 vintages working experience in Bourgogne before he started his own project in 2012. Based in Savigny-les-Beaune, where he owns a half hectare organic vineyard, he farms 10 ha across 29 appellations in Bourgogne for his wines. 80% of his production is white wine, a passion honed by his years of winemaking at Coche Dury, amongst others. He farms with no chemicals, does native ferment in older, larger barrels, employs MLF, and never uses bâttonage in his wines, leaving them on full lees after pressing. This comes from a mid slope plot in Chassagne Montrachet’s 1er Cru Baudines (the highest altitude on Chassagne), situated on the edge of Santenay. This rested 16 months in older barriques. Flint-decked, this powerful wine draws pencil shavings, broken stones, lemon pith across the fuller, structural palate, woven with green apple, cream through the stony, spicy finish.Tasted: 21 April 2021Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| ON | $119.95 | 750ml | consignment |
