Description

Pale gold color, luminous. Pleasantly mineral and minty nose, floral notes (lime blossom) and white fruits. The palate confirms the fruit-flower fusion in a straight, generous and fleshy style. A complex burgundy, which plays in the big leagues.

This amazing value comes from a parcel lying just outside—a stone’s throw away from—Chassagne-Montrachet. Bright, round and rich, with deep, mouth-filling flavors of exotic fruit and lively acids. The estate began in the 11th century. During the 14th century, It was owned by J. de Chaissaigne, when the name for the estate was established. Nothing noteworthy happened for the next few hundred years until the French Revolution. The estate was auctioned off in pieces. A wine trader from Masson Dubois meticulously reconstructed the estate, acquiring all land bit by bit. In 1919, Charles Mimeur purchased the estate, and it has been in his family ever since. The family has a couple of wine shops in Paris, where most of their wines are sold. They supplement the domaine vineyard holdings with purchased grapes from a few highly acclaimed vineyards.
