Olivier Leflaive Frères Chassagne-Montrachet Les Pierres 2020

About

To the south of the Côte de Beaune, Chassagne-Montrachet shares with Puligny-Montrachet the undisputed prince of all dry white wines of creation: the divine Montrachet (pronounced Mon-rachet). This large and beautiful hillside brings the two Burgundian grape varieties to excellence. Pinot noir and chardonnay flourish here side by side due to the complexity of the terroirs. Large quarries of marble stone form a rocky front: in Paris, the Trocadéro or more recently the Louvre Pyramid use this stone in pink or beige paving.

Terroir

This vineyard is located on a rocky bed which has been used in the past to build the near wash house in Corpeau. From two owned plots and a neighboring plot.

Vinification

The grapes are grown organically (not certified) in calcareous clay soil. 100% manual harvest. 100% Chardonnay. 100% whole grapes, 24h static settling. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in oak barrels. 18 months ( 6 months in stainless steel tank) 100% in oak barrels ( 20% of new oak)

Tasting Notes

The wine has raspberry seed aromas with a sappy texture, accompanied by citrus nuances. A lively freshness emerges, with notes of lime and tea leaves.

Food Pairing

It goes wonderfully with gardener's risotto, rabbit in jelly or chicken quiche.
