Pascal Clément Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru Vide Bourse 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. Vide Bourse is smartly located under the Bâtard Montrachet, and a great mix between the brilliance of Puligny and the richness of Chassagne. Lemon and fine cream lead this bright medium-bodied wine, tightened and shaped by chalk, perfumed with lemon blossom, and driven by a lemony acidity across a finely textural, medium+ palate. Finish is long and subtly saline.Tasted: 21 April 2021Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| ON | $119.95 | 750ml | consignment |
