Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru Les Blanchots Dessus

100% Chardonnay

Production area: Chassagne-Montrachet - Burgundy CĂ´te d'Or

Terrain: suolo sassoso su uno strato di calcare bruno argilloso, tipico di questo Cru

Harvest: manual

Vinification: grapes are hand-picked at optimal ripeness in small baskets and transported to the winery for gentle pressing in a pneumatic press. The must is allowed to stand for 24 hours (debourbage) to allow the coarse lees to settle. The wine is racked by gravity into small oak barrels for alcoholic and malolactic fermentations. The must is stirred (batonnage) very rarely during malolactic fermentation to allow the wine to develop without oxidative notes

Refinement: Aged for 15 months in oak barrels (1/3 new) and then bottled

Color: golden yellow

Fragrance: aromas of honey, herbaceous notes of mint and thyme, concentrated hints of apple, pear and tropical fruits, with an earthy component of truffle and mushroom

Flavor: concentrated, rich and intense, elegant

Alcoholic Grade: 13% vol

THE COMPANY

Born as Domaine Coffinet and handed down to the various generations, since 1860 this small Domaine has always been linked to Chassagne-Montrachet. The turning point came in the 80s when Fernand Coffinet and his wife CĂ©cile decided to divide the property between their two daughters. It was in 1989 that Laura Coffinet and her husband Philippe Duvernay founded Domaine Coffinet-Duvernay, combining their personal and professional lives. Over the last few years they have worked hard on the smallest nuances of the individual terroirs, offering today, with their wines, an exceptional panorama of Chassagne-Montrachet. All the wines offered are produced with grapes from the village of Chassagne and the perfect knowledge of this terroir means that Philippe is able to meticulously interpret every single parcel under the common denominator of this small village of the CĂ´te de Beaune. Fine, elegant and tense wines with a great aging potential, perfect ambassadors of their great terroir.
