FEATURES
The 2024 vintage for white Burgundy, including Chassagne-Montrachet, is highly anticipated, with early reports suggesting it could be one of the greatest white Burgundy vintages in 25 years. Producers describe 2024 as a "true Burgundian vintage," offering vibrant, energetic, and beautifully precise wines with exceptional acidity, drive, cut, and purity of fruit. The whites are characterized by a taut, mineral, and saline profile, reminiscent of the classic 2014 vintage, with pH levels often between 3.2 and 3.35 and alcohols in the 12–13% range. This makes them compelling for collectors who value tension, definition, and longevity. However, yields were dramatically reduced, making availability extremely limited. Chantereves, a micro-négoce founded in 2010 by oenologists Tomoko Kuriyama and Guillaume Bott, is known for its elegant, pure, and terroir-driven wines with minimal intervention. Their Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot typically showcases a fresh, precise, and mineral-driven style, with aromas of citrus, apple, white flowers, and subtle toasted almond, leading to a vibrant palate with bright acidity and a long, stony finish. 【Exceptional acidity, drive, cut, and purity of fruit in a classic style】.
🍴 Food Pairing: This elegant white Burgundy pairs beautifully with fine fish and shellfish, such as grilled lobster with lemon butter or turbot in hollandaise sauce. It also complements poultry and white meats, especially those served in a cream sauce, like Bresse chicken. Full-flavored cheeses and lightly-spicy Asian cuisine are also excellent matches.
🥂 Event Suggestions: This wine is perfect for a sophisticated dinner party, a celebratory occasion, or as a thoughtful gift for a discerning wine collector. Its aging potential also makes it suitable for cellaring for several years.
