Domaine Dominique Lahaye Chassagne Montrachet Les Benoites Blanc 2023

Domaine Dominique Lahaye Chassagne-Montrachet Les Benoites Blanc 2023 is a refined Chardonnay from one of the most admired villages in the Côte de Beaune. Coming from the small lieu-dit Les Benoites, it stands out for its poised mineral character, bright fruit, and the unmistakable sense of place that has made Chassagne-Montrachet a benchmark for expressive Burgundy whites.

Tasting Notes
The wine shows a pale, luminous color in the glass, hinting at its freshness and precision. Aromas open with citrus, green apple, and white flowers, followed by subtle notes of stone fruit and a delicate nutty touch that suggests careful winemaking rather than overt oak influence. On the palate, it is harmonious and vibrant, with a clear line of acidity that lifts the fruit and emphasizes the wine’s chalky, mineral backbone. The texture is finely rounded, giving the wine enough breadth to feel generous while remaining elegant and focused. The finish is persistent, saline, and distinctly limestone-driven. With a few years of cellaring, it should gain additional depth and complexity.

Production
Les Benoites is a small lieu-dit in the southern part of the Côte de Beaune, where calcareous soils bring tension, minerality, and natural freshness to the Chardonnay. The 2023 vintage combines ripe fruit with a lively, well-preserved acidity, reflecting both the character of the site and the conditions of the year. Vinification appears to favor a restrained approach, allowing the purity of the terroir and grape to remain at the forefront.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with fish, shellfish, poultry, and creamy vegetable dishes, as well as richer preparations such as roasted chicken or veal with a light cream sauce. Serve chilled at around 10–12°C to best appreciate its precision and aromatic lift. Decanting is not essential, but a brief aeration can help open the wine if enjoyed young.

Producer
Domaine Dominique Lahaye is a Burgundy producer associated with careful, terroir-driven winemaking and a style that emphasizes clarity and balance. In Chassagne-Montrachet, a village celebrated for some of the region’s most sought-after white wines, the domaine’s approach highlights the nuances of individual parcels and the expressive power of Chardonnay. This bottle reflects that reputation for precision and respect for the vineyard site.
