Louis Jadot Chassagne-Montrachet 2016

The white wines of Chassagne Montrachet are the most robust of the Côte des Blancs, becoming less delicate and more straightforward as one progresses southward from the Grand Cru vineyards at the Puligny border. Chardonnay is the only grape variety used for the white wines. Maison Louis Jadot vinifies the production of growers in this commune with whom they hold purchase agreements based on the quality of the fruit each year.

 

This traditional vinification in oak casks brings forth the rich, plump fruit and full body of the wine, which shows a vigorous, aromatic bouquet and persistent, earthy finish. These great wines should be kept for special meals: foie gras, entrées, and fish in cream sauces, fine charcuterie and white meats in rich sauces.
