Chassagne-Montrachet Blanc 2018, Joseph Drouhin

In the glass, this wine is an intense golden colour with a deep bouquet of complex fragrances including lychee, orange peel, roses and spiced notes of clove and nutmeg. On the palate, it is fresh with a vibrant acidity and finishes with lingering almond notes.

Joseph Drouhin Wines reflect the true tradition of Burgundy Wines.Drouhin’s foremost goal is to enhance the true character of each terroir. Since 1993 they have been working with organic and biodynamic principles to “bringing natural answers to natural problems”.

Vinification is traditional, using indigenous yeasts and as little technical interference as possible, varied according to the needs of each terroir. Ageing takes into account the origin of each wine: stainless steel vats to enhance fruit and freshness in Chablis and Mâconnais, oak barrels to develop complexity and finesse in Côte d’Or. New oak barrels are made from oak trees individually selected by Drouhin which are then weathered for three years so that all coarse tannins can be eliminated. Their use, and the time the wine spends in them, are determined by the appellation and the vintage.
