Chassagne-Montrachet Blanc
SKU MOCB
Sylvain’s villages-level Chassagne-Montrachet Blanc comes primarily from a half-hectare in La Bergerie (planted between 1958 and 1974), complemented by smaller holdings in nearby Les Perclos and the villages-classified portion of Les Pierres (both planted in the mid-1990s). La Bergerie’s mix of clay and pebbles manifests in the wine’s deft balancing of richness and minerality, and Sylvain’s restrained sulfur regimen and preference for no lees-stirring create a wine of wide-open expressiveness and stunning clarity of fruit. The 20% new wood is all but invisible—in part a positive effect of Sylvain’s preference for larger-than-standard 350-liter vessels. 60 cases imported.
About Sylvain Morey
Two of the hallmarks of Burgundy are the minuscule size and the fractured distribution of the small domains that line the Côte d’Or.
