Domaine Philippe Bouzereau: Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru 'Les Pasquelles'

Experience the sheer class of the Côte de Beaune with the Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru 'Les Pasquelles' from Domaine Philippe Bouzereau. This exceptional Chardonnay, hailing from a distinguished Premier Cru 'Climat', embodies the rich, complex, and age-worthy style of fine White Burgundy. It is a benchmark wine for the appellation.

Tasting Profile

• Appearance: Bright, pale gold, showing excellent clarity.
• Aroma: Elegant and profound, the nose presents an intricate mix of stone fruits (peach, apricot), citrus zest, and floral notes, underpinned by savoury hints of fresh hazelnut and a subtle flinty minerality. The 12-month barrel maturation adds a refined layer of vanilla and toasted brioche.
• Flavour: Full and generous on the entry, the wine possesses a beautifully silky, almost creamy texture, which is expertly counterbalanced by Chassagne’s characteristic vibrant acidity. The flavour is concentrated and long, building to a powerful, mineral-driven finish that lingers beautifully.

Food Pairing & Serving

A wine of this pedigree calls for the finest cuisine. Serve lightly chilled at 12-14°C (54-57°F). Consider pairing it with classic British fine dining dishes.

• Suggested Pairings: Lobster Thermidor, Dover Sole Meunière, Roast Chicken with a rich tarragon cream sauce, High-quality aged Gruyère or Comté cheese.
