Domaine Henri De Villamont Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru "Clos Saint-Jean"

Experience the sheer class of White Burgundy with this exceptional Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru "Clos Saint-Jean". Crafted by Domaine Henri De Villamont, this Premier Cru Chardonnay from the Côte de Beaune is a masterpiece of balance, power, and elegance, reflecting the deep limestone soils of this famed *climat*.

Sommelier's Notes

• **Colour:** Bright, pale gold, indicating concentration and quality.
• **Aromas:** Highly nuanced, featuring a core of stone fruit (apricot, peach) and citrus zest, layered with classic notes of hazelnut, brioche, and a subtle smokiness from oak ageing.
• **Taste:** A generous and opulent mouthfeel, cut through by Chassagne’s signature minerality and bright acidity. It is both rich and precise, delivering a wonderfully lengthy and satisfying finish.
• **Drinking Window:** Superb now with air, but will develop magnificent tertiary characters over the next decade.

Food Pairing & Serving Suggestions

Serve this Premier Cru slightly cool (around 13°C) to highlight its complexity and minerality. It is a brilliant choice for fine dining.

• **Ideal Pairings:** Seared King Scallops with Lemon Butter, Roast Turbot with a creamy sauce, or Chicken with Morels.
• **Cheeses:** Mature Cheddar or an Alpine-style cheese like Beaufort.
