Domaine du Cellier aux Moines - Chassagne-Montrachet 1er cru Les Chaumées 2018

IN ORGANIC CONVERSION

Key words: Concentration / Richness / Complexity

The wine: The 1er Cru "Les Chaumées" is very close to the limestone quarries of Chassagne- Montrachet. The Pascal family offers us thanks to this climate an exceptional wine, powerful and rich, while maintaining a very fine tension. The palate is complex, full and built around a beautiful buttery texture with notes of citrus fruits and vanilla. A magnificent concentration all in balance emerges from this bottle belonging to the Burgundian elite. A great vintage of gastronomy to open in good company at the table!

The Estate: Existing since 1130, the Domaine du Cellier aux Moines is a property with a very rich and ancient history. To convince yourself of this, you can read the book "Nine centuries in the heart of Burgundy" written by Gilles Platret and the owner of the estate, Philippe Pascal. It is the latter who, since 2004, has been with his family at the head of this beautiful property of 10 hectares. While the heart of the vineyard is in AOC Givry, the family also owns small plots in Chassagne-Montrachet, Santenay and Puligny-Montrachet. The vineyard has been certified in Organic Agriculture since 2020 (1st estate in Givry) and biodynamic certification is planned in the years to come. Since 2015, Guillaume Marko has joined the property to take care of the winemaking. The cuvées reach a high level of purity and richness specific to that of the Burgundian elite.
