Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru En Remilly Morey-Coffinet (Domaine) 2022

The wine

The Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru En Remilly is a prestigious cuvée produced from a 0.35-hectare parcel, originally planted in 1954. Situated on a southwest-facing slope, the vineyard thrives on a mix of limestone and clay soils, ideal for producing wines of exceptional finesse. The soil is carefully tended through mechanical ploughing, promoting optimal aeration and deep root development. The grapes are hand-harvested, ensuring only those at perfect ripeness are selected. Once in the cellar, the wine undergoes vinification and ageing for 14 to 16 months in 350-litre barrels, with 30 to 50% new oak, lending subtle notes of vanilla and toasted bread.
On the nose, this elixir reveals elegant aromas of apple and pear, intertwined with floral hints and a touch of hazelnut. The palate is beautifully balanced, offering refreshing acidity, pronounced minerality, and a long, lingering finish. This refined wine pairs wonderfully with seafood, poultry in sauce, and aged cheeses, making for an exceptional gastronomic experience.
