Confidential wine selection, small estates & old vintage
The Chassagne-Montrachet Les Encégnières from the Bachelet brothers is an emblematic cuvée that, while classified as a simple "village" wine, possesses all the qualities of a premier cru: aromatic complexity, density, and a remarkable balance of indulgent fruit, citrus energy, and delicate mineral finesse.
This wine benefits from a stony, clay-limestone terroir located just below the Grand Cru Bâtard-Montrachet, contributing to its exceptional character. The nearly 50-year-old vines deliver fruit with rare aromatic concentration, nurtured through biodynamic practices.
The 2019 vintage, with its low yields, reveals a seductive Chassagne that is both powerful and well-contained. Aged with a quarter new oak, it opens with enticing aromas of stone fruits, honey, and subtle spices, complemented by floral and citrus notes.
On the palate, it offers precision and balance, showcasing the richness and density typical of the vintage, with a silky texture and lively acidity. The finish is long-lasting and vibrant.
This wine pairs beautifully with roasted scallops or sautéed langoustines, making it absolutely irresistible.
