Bottle of Chassagne Montrachet Blanc 1st Cru Les Chaumées Blanc 2023 Cellier aux Moines 75cl

Chassagne-Montrachet 1er cru Les Chaumées 2023 white wine bottle, Domaine du Cellier aux Moines

Architectural gem of Burgundy's wine region, Cellier aux Moines is one of the oldest wine estates in the area. Founded in 1130 by Cistercian monks in Givry, the Cellar and its vineyard enclosure have been preserved to this day. During the French Revolution, the estate was requisitioned and sold to a family that kept it for two centuries until the Pascal family acquired it in 2004. The Pascal family implemented an extensive restoration program for both the Cellar and the vineyard. A new winery was also built, equipped with state-of-the-art facilities to vinify wines with precision while preserving the authenticity of their terroir. Notably, the iconic vines include 5 hectares of the famous Cellier aux Moines enclosed vineyard, a historic premier cru in Givry, along with some prestigious plots in Puligny and Chassagne-Montrachet. The estate covers 10 hectares, all cultivated using biodynamic methods. Another unique feature is the absence of any wine pumping (from grape arrival to bottling) thanks to the gravity-fed winery spanning 4 levels. A guiding principle for the quality of the wines is "Simplex Natura" (Letting Nature do its work).

This Magnum of Chassagne-Montrachet 1er cru Les Chaumées 2023 from Domaine du Cellier aux Moines comes from a beautiful terroir located on the upper slopes of Chassagne, at an altitude of 300m. It is a rocky terroir with a steep slope where the Chardonnay vines (planted in 1988) produce small, well-formed grape clusters. In the cellar, the grapes are sorted and then aged for 18 months in 400-liter oak barrels (50% new barrels). This allows the oak influence to be well integrated, giving the wine a smooth texture. This 2023 vintage reveals elegant and delicate aromas of citrus, sweet spices, and tropical fruits. The texture is refined, and the wine has matured beautifully in the bottle, gaining balance and aromatic complexity. A great white wine ready to be enjoyed!
