Village Appellation of the Côte de Beaune district. This appellation includes 19 Premiers Crus and 3 Grands Crus. At altitudes between 220 and 325 meters.
The Domaine:
Located in Remigny, just near Santenay, in the south of Burgundy, the Joly and Borgeot families created her domain in 1904. Today the domain has 18 hectares of own vineyards and purchases also to private owners, in several villages of Cote de Beaune and Cote Chalonnaise.
Country: France
Region: Bourgogne
Appellation: Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru
Grape Variety: Chardonnay
Availabilities: 600 bottles
Tasting Notes:
Glittering gold color with green highlights. Aromas of mayflower, acacia, and honeysuckle blend with verbena, hazelnut and fresh butter. This wine boasts a profound minerality (flint). Rounded and often opulent, its attack is instantaneous. On the palate, fleshiness is matched by mellowness, and both are equally persistent.
Food Pairings:
Ideal partner for delicate fine white meats such as poultry or veal in sauce, fish, either in well-spiced couscous or in Asian dishes such as curries or stirfries. Salmon, crawfish, lobster or even foie gras harmonize particularly well.
Service Temperature:
14°C
