This is a White wine made of the Chardonnay varietal, This is made in a Premier cru vineyard, belonging to the Chassagne-Montrachet appellation the Burgundy region of France. I tasted this wine on 6/9/2009 at the Vintage bank at Hilton Chennai, during a tasting presentation by Mr. Olivier Masmondet of Maiso Louis Jadot.
Olivier described this wine as a wine that “Makes you Think” and distinctly different from the Chablis which made you smile! He described this as a Classic feminine wine. There are only 80 barrels produced of this wine a year. So i guess we were pretty fortunate to get our hands on this vintage.
This is a straw yellow coloured wine.
On the nose, it has the aroma of honey, fresh fruit and a hint of lemon.
On the palate this is an extremely well balanced, full bodied wine with a fuity taste with a hint of peach and lemon.
This wine paired well with Smoked Salmon and Chicken and asparagus Roulade.
