Chartron et Trebuchet Chassagne Montrachet Premier Cru Les Embazees 2015

Bright ruby red color. Aromas of black cherries and spices going towards new leather notes. The palate is fresh, sustained by round and supple tannins.
This is a classic four squared Pinot Noir, exhibiting the depth and density of the Pommard clone of Pinot Noir. Built to last in the cellar.

Soil: Clay and limestone soils which drain well thanks to a gravel rock debris.

HARVEST: Harvest by hand.

VINIFICATION: Traditional vinification in thermo-regulated stainless steel. Pre-fermentation - cold maceration. Long fermentation during which pigeages and pumping over are performed. Post-fermentation - maceration at 30°C.

Excellent with grilled red meat with sauce.

Chartrons et Trebuchet Chablis 1er Cru Beauroy is a crisp and clean Chardonnay that offers a rich and intense bouquet of fresh citrus fruits and white flowers. The mouth is round, ample and powerful. The rich and rounded palate is expressive and voluptuous with a mineral character and good acidity. A long finish. Delicious.

Chartrons et Trebuchet Chablis 1er Cru Beauroy is a perfect match with cooked oysters or fish in sauce, white meats (veal, poultry), sushi, goat cheese, blue cheese and Comté.

Light straw yellow in colour. Aromas of honeysuckle and elderflower fill out the nose with a slight hint of citrus. The freshness of citrus blends perfectly with fine woody aromas of brioche and custard. Rounded with a nice bit of sharp acidity brings out a liveliness coached along by hints of pear and citrus fruits. A nice mineral tension ensures length and elegance.
