Chassagne-Montrachet Baudines Premier Cru

BACKGROUND

Paul’s mom married his dad expecting a glamorous winemaker lifestyle. Ha. They spent their honeymoon replanting the vines in this vineyard. Welcome to the world of winemaking, Marie-Therese. She’s a great lady, by the way. The vineyard sits high up on the slope in the southern part of Chassagne; so this wine has great minerality and snappy acidity.

TASTING NOTES

Ripe floral bouquet with pear notes and pleasing spice. The minerality kicks in on the palate along with the crisp acidity. Great food wine. Paul balances all this with the white fruit and citrus flavors in this wine. Beautiful length on the finish.

FOOD PAIRINGS

Lobster. Shellfish. Seafood in a beurre blanc sauce. Goat cheese.
