Au Pied du Mont Chauve - Chassagne-Montrachet - En Pimont - Blanc - 2019

Wine:

Powered by a nuanced, full-bodied vintage, the 2019 White Chassagne-Montrachet En Pimont, bordering the 1st growth Les Chaumées, is an amiable-looking Chardonnay with plenty of vigor. It develops a chalky, extremely refined and mineral texture, punctuated by fine oak and vanilla notes from the aging process as well as a touch of citrus zest.
