Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru Les Embazées 2020

196689

Produced from one of the most prestigious terroirs in the Côte de Beaune, this Premier Cru "Les Embazées" expresses all the nobility of Chardonnay from a plot situated on the outskirts of Saint-Aubin, renowned for its finesse and tension. Selected by Le Delas for the precision of its 2020 vintage, this exceptional white wine embodies Burgundian elegance with a rich structure and deep minerality, meeting the standards of the most discerning wine lists. Food pairings, serving and storage: ► Sensory experience: The 2020 vintage is characterised by a pale gold colour with crystalline highlights. On the nose, it reveals a complex bouquet of white flowers, fresh hazelnuts and subtle buttery notes. On the palate, the attack is clean, supported by a saline mineral backbone and a generous amplitude that is the hallmark of the great terroirs of Chassagne. ► Food and wine pairings: This Premier Cru is the ideal companion for fine seafood. It enhances a monkfish tail roasted in butter, pan-seared scallops or grilled lobster. Its power also allows it to brilliantly accompany a cream-braised chicken or sweetbreads with morels. ► Serving: To allow its aromatic complexity to unfold, this wine is best served between 12°C and 14°C. Decanting is recommended for bottles enjoyed in their youth, to release the full breadth of the Chardonnay. ► Storage: This fine wine for laying down has remarkable ageing potential. Store horizontally in a dark, temperature-controlled cellar. Although already approachable, it will continue to gain in complexity and silkiness over the next ten years.
