Tasting notes
A refined and expressive Chardonnay with aromas of white peach, toasted hazelnut, and fresh brioche, underpinned by subtle hints of chalk and citrus blossom. On the palate, it delivers concentrated flavors of ripe pear, lemon curd, and gentle vanilla, framed by vibrant acidity and a silky, mineral-driven texture. The finish is long and precise, with a characteristic Chassagne limestone note that lingers elegantly.

About this wine
Au Pied du Mont Chauve draws this Chardonnay from Les Vergers, one of the more highly regarded premier cru sites in Chassagne-Montrachet on Burgundy's Côte de Beaune. It is vinified as a serious white Burgundy, built for structure and ageing rather than quick drinking.
Expect the classic Chassagne signature: taut citrus and white orchard fruit backed by a flinty, saline minerality, with enough weight to carry oak without losing precision. Serve at 10-12°C alongside shellfish, lobster or turbot, or bring it to the table with a proper cheese and charcuterie board.
