Bader-Mimeur, Chassagne Montrachet Les Houillères 2024 White

Bader-Mimeur Chassagne-Montrachet Les Houillères 2024 is a refined white Burgundy from one of the world’s most celebrated Chardonnay villages. Produced by a family estate situated at the foot of the famous Montrachet vineyards, it combines the richness and elegance associated with Chassagne-Montrachet with careful, understated oak maturation.

Tasting Notes
Bright and clear in appearance, the wine is expected to show the classic Chassagne-Montrachet profile of ripe orchard fruit, citrus and subtle floral notes, complemented by delicate nuances of toasted grain and French oak. On the palate, it offers a rounded, textured character with refreshing acidity, mineral definition and a long, balanced finish shaped by its time on the fine lees. The 2024 vintage should develop gracefully in bottle, gaining complexity and further integration over the next several years. It can be enjoyed relatively young for its freshness, but careful cellaring for approximately 5–8 years should reveal additional depth and harmony.

Production
From the Les Houillères climat in Chassagne-Montrachet, this Chardonnay reflects the limestone-rich terroir and classic conditions of southern Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune. The grapes are gently pressed as whole clusters in a pneumatic press. After cold settling, the must is transferred by gravity to French oak barrels within 24 hours, where the complete alcoholic fermentation takes place. The wine is then aged for 10 months in French oak without the use of new barrels, with regular bâtonnage of the fine lees to enhance texture and complexity.

Food & Serving
Serve at around 11–13°C. This elegant white Burgundy is a natural match for roasted or grilled fish, shellfish, chicken in a creamy sauce, veal, and dishes featuring mushrooms or lightly seasoned vegetables. It is also well suited to soft, moderately mature cheeses. Decanting is not essential, but a brief 15–20 minute aeration in a carafe can help open the wine when served young.

Producer
Bader-Mimeur is a historic family estate located at the foot of the renowned Montrachet vineyards in Chassagne-Montrachet. The property has been in the family for five generations: the Bader-Nié family owned vineyards in Chassagne-Montrachet and the surrounding area from as early as the 17th century, while Charles Mimeur, a winegrower from Maranges, acquired Château de Chassagne-Montrachet in 1919. Since 2017, the estate has been managed by siblings Nathalie Bernard and Sébastien Fossier, who continue the domaine’s tradition with a focus on careful, gravity-assisted winemaking and restrained oak maturation.
