Domaine Bruno Colin - Chassagne-Montrachet 1er cru - La Boudriotte - White - 2023

Wine:

Also rooted in the prestigious Morgeot sector, the 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru La Boudriotte White is a rare gem, sourced from just 0.24 hectares of old vines. This is a precise, confidently structured Chardonnay, striking a fine balance between finesse and power. The fruit shows a crisp, tangy edge, while the oak brings a subtle tannic grip that adds depth without weighing it down. A Premier Cru built for aging, with an unmistakable sense of firmness and quiet strength.
