Chassagne-Montrachet Vieilles Vignes 2022, Domaine Vincent & François Jouard
£69.95 per bottle
Fermented and aged for 12 months in Allier oak barrels from the local Tonnellerie Chassin (20% of which was new oak). This is a glorious, aromatic, elegant wine with depth and persistence which is not far off premier cru quality.
The domaine owns 3 hectares in different sectors of the appellation. François retains the fruit from the oldest vines in the best-placed parcels and vinifies 25 barrels himself, selling the rest of the crop to the Beaune négociants. This is a glorious, aromatic, elegant wine with depth and persistence which is not far off premier cru quality. Drink 2025-2028..
