Bachelet-Ramonet Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos Saint Jean Blanc 2023

Bachelet-Ramonet Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos Saint Jean Blanc 2023 is a refined Burgundy Chardonnay that captures the cooler, mineral-driven side of northern Chassagne-Montrachet. From one of the village’s most prized Premier Cru sites, it shows the kind of clarity, energy, and elegance that has made this terroir so admired for generations.

Tasting Notes
Pale gold in the glass, the wine opens with delicate aromas of white flowers, lemon peel, and a touch of ripe peach, followed by subtle hints of vanilla and softly integrated oak. On the palate, it is both precise and gently creamy, with vibrant acidity carrying a core of citrus fruit, crushed stone, and wet limestone, finishing long, clean, and impressively harmonious. There is a real sense of tension and finesse here, with the wine balancing freshness and texture in a way that feels distinctly Chassagne-Montrachet. While already charming in its youth, it should gain greater complexity over the next 5–10 years, developing more nutty, honeyed, and savoury notes with time.

Production
Clos Saint-Jean lies in the northern part of Chassagne-Montrachet, where chalky soils and a relatively cool microclimate help produce whites of precision and lift. Bachelet-Ramonet works with the vineyard’s naturally expressive Chardonnay to preserve its mineral character, with careful harvesting and vinification designed to highlight purity, balance, and terroir rather than overt power.

Food & Serving
This Premier Cru is an excellent match for roast chicken, seared scallops, lobster, turbot, creamy poultry dishes, and fine mushroom risotto. Serve it at around 10–12°C, and consider a short decant if the wine is very young to help it open and show its full aromatic detail.

Producer
