2023, Domaine Darviot-Perrin, CHASSAGNE-MONTRACHET, 1er Cru, 'Blanchot Dessus'
$324
Tiny, 50 year old 1er Cru vineyard situated immediately to the south of Montrachet, known to locals as “Pieds du Montrachet.”
Pale primrose in colour. The oak is a little more prominent thanks to the softer style of white fruit. Bouncy and exuberant, more than I expected on the palate. Mouthfilling, with good acidity, real excitement here. Drink from 2030-2036.
