Chassagne-Montrachet AOC 1er Cru Clos Saint Jean 2021 Domaine Amiot Guy et Fils

The Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos Saint Jean from Domaine Amiot Guy et Fils is a refined white wine from the Burgundy region, produced exclusively from Chardonnay grapes. The vineyard, with an average age of 25 years, has a north-east exposure that favors a balanced ripening of the grapes and the soils are clay-limestone.

The winemaking process follows traditional methods that enhance the characteristics of the terroir. After a manual harvest, the grapes are subjected to a soft pressing to preserve the integrity of the flavors. The must obtained ferments in oak barrels, where the wine is then aged for an appropriate period, allowing a slow evolution of the aromas and a perfect integration of the wood.

The nose reveals complex notes of white-fleshed fruit, white flowers and light nuances of flint. In the mouth it shows a beautiful vivacity and freshness balanced by a creamy and enveloping structure. The finish is long and persistent, with a mineral note that enhances its refinement.

This white wine pairs beautifully with grilled fish dishes, seafood and soft cheeses.
