Pascal Clément Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru Vide Bourse 2015
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, and never uses bâttonage in his wines, leaving them on full lees after pressing. In the warm 2015 vintage, Pascal stopped MLF on his whites, which is usually employed. Vide Bourse is smartly located under Bâtard Montrachet, and a great mix between the brilliance of Puligny and the richness of Chassagne. Ripe and rich, with toasted hazelnuts, lemon curd, cream, elastic, shaped by green and yellow apple, and lingering with flake salts. A more upfront, powerful and attention grabbing style, which would well suit many protein / cream dishes.Tasted: 29 January 2022Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| ON | $120.00 | 750ml | consignment |
