Domaine Bruno Colin - Chassagne-Montrachet 1er cru - La Boudriotte - Blanc - 2021

Wine:

Also claiming the Morgeot finage, the 2021 white Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru La Boudriotte is a little rarity made from just 24 ares of old vines. It's a straightforward Chardonnay, perfectly balanced between finesse and power, which finds in this vintage a particularly brilliant mineral length with acidulous fruit and a first-rate zesty bitterness. A premier cru with great ageing potential, with that noble sensation of power and firmness. Rated 93/100 RVF.

Serve between 10 and 12°C in a large glass.
