Domaine Bouard-Bonnefoy Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Vergers 2023
Chassagne Montrachet, Côte de Beaune, Côte d'Or, Burgundy, FranceThis family estate was established in the 1920's, and today is under the careful watch of Fabrice Bouard and his wife Carinne Bonnefoy. Vergers faces east, on a clay-limestone slope around 250-300m, near the border with Saint-Aubin. Farmed biodynamically, this was pressed in an upright wooden press, hand-cranked, and native fermented in French barrels over 1 year (20% new wood). This electric wine is chiselled and shaped with flint, wrapping around nimble lemon, pithy white grapefruit, crunchy green apple, and ample flake salts. Fantastic energy here, propelling a finish that just doesn't stop. Really impressive now, and with time ahead.Tasted: 17 June 2026Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $190.00 | 750ml | private wine stores |
