🏰 The 2019 Jean Claude Bachelet Chassagne Montrachet Blanchot Dessus 1er Cru, a white Burgundy, hails from a vintage generally considered to be excellent for white wines in the region, offering a balance of ripeness and freshness. While specific tasting notes for this exact wine and vintage are not readily available, Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru wines are typically known for their elegance, minerality, and complexity. Expect aromas of white flowers, citrus, and stone fruit, often complemented by subtle nutty or toasty notes from oak aging. The palate is usually vibrant with a long, saline finish, showcasing the unique terroir of Blanchot Dessus. This wine is crafted to express both the purity of Chardonnay and the distinct character of its premier cru site.
🍴 This exquisite white Burgundy pairs beautifully with a range of dishes. Consider classic French pairings like pan-seared scallops, roasted chicken with herbs, or a delicate fish in a creamy sauce. For an Eastern twist, it would complement steamed fish with ginger and spring onions, or even a refined dim sum selection. Hard, aged cheeses also make a delightful match.
🥂 This wine is perfect for celebratory dinners, intimate gatherings, or as a sophisticated aperitif. Its complexity and elegance make it suitable for special occasions where a refined white wine is desired.
BACKGROUND
Domaine Jean-Claude Bachelet et Fils is a well-regarded wine producer based in the town of Saint-Aubin in the Côte de Beaune region of Burgundy, France. It produces a range of wines, predominantly Chardonnay, from fruit in Saint-Aubin and neighboring Puligny and Chassagne-Montrachet, including a plot in the Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru site. The eponymous Jean-Claude Bachelet established the domaine name in the 1970s although the family has winemaking history dating back to the 17th Century. Jean-Claude's sons Jean-Baptiste and Benoit progressively took over the running of the domaine in the early 2000s and the cellars were rennovated in 2010.
