Domaine Bachey-Legros, Chassagne-Montrachet Blanc 2024, Burgundy, France

Sumptuous, old-vine richness with a razor-sharp mineral soul 🍋 Crafted by brothers Samuel and Lénaïc Legros from their historic family estate in Santenay, Domaine Bachey-Legros is celebrated for its remarkable collection of ancient, low-yielding vines. Sourced from plots situated at the sunny, upper slopes on the Santenay end of the Chassagne-Montrachet appellation, this 100% Chardonnay benefits from cool limestone cliffs and late harvesting that locks in exceptional ripeness and texture. 🍇⛰️ Pouring a luminous pale gold, the 2024 vintage opens with hedonistic aromas of toasted brioche, white blossom, and lemon curd, framed by subtle exotic nuances like ripe stone fruit and a touch of green mango. On the palate, it is broad, fleshy, and broad-shouldered—delivering a lavish, buttery core that is instantly lifted by a vibrant, chalky undertow. It finishes long, polished, and intensely satisfying. An exceptional choice to pair with buttery pan-seared scallops, roasted poultry in cream sauce, wild mushroom tartelette, or rich French cheeses. 🐚🍗🧀 Domaine Bachey-Legros Chassagne-Montrachet A broad, deeply expressive, and decadent white Burgundy that balances luxurious, oak-kissed fruit with unmistakable terroir energy. 🥂✨
