Tasting Notes
Bright and refined in appearance, this wine opens with aromas of white flowers, pear and crisp green apple, complemented by delicate notes of beeswax and freshly baked bread. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and precise, with a mature fruit core balanced by lively acidity. The finish is fresh, harmonious and lingering, showing an appealing combination of richness and tension. Enjoyable in its youth for its vibrant fruit and clarity, the wine should also gain additional texture and nuance with careful cellaring over the coming years.

Production
Clos Saint-Jean is a premier cru climat in Chassagne-Montrachet, in Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune, where Chardonnay thrives in limestone-rich soils and a relatively cool continental climate. Specific details regarding the harvest and vinification of this bottle are not provided; however, the wine’s balance and precision reflect the restrained, terroir-focused style associated with fine white Burgundy.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled at approximately 11–13°C. It pairs beautifully with roast chicken, veal, grilled or poached fish, shellfish, creamy pasta and soft-ripened cheeses. Decanting is not essential, but giving the wine 20–30 minutes in a Burgundy glass can help reveal its floral, fruity and subtly savoury character.
