Paul Gayot, Chassagne Montrachet Les Embazees 1er Cru, 2022
🏰 From the prized Les Embazees Premier Cru parcel, this Paul Gayot Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru from the excellent 2022 vintage showcases 【good maturity with particularly aromatic white wines and excellent ageing potential】. This wine offers a 【deep aroma of fresh white flowers, ripe citrus fruits, and hints of hazelnuts, complemented by a slight smoky nuance. The palate is textured and layered, with notes of golden apple, baking spice, and a long, mineral-laced finish, supported by beautiful acidity and a mineral backbone】.
🍴 This opulent white Burgundy is a fantastic match for delicate fine white meats like poultry or veal in sauce. It also pairs wonderfully with scallops, foie gras, creamy pasta, or rich fish dishes. For an Asian touch, consider steamed scallops with garlic and vermicelli or a creamy chicken curry.
🥂 With an optimal consumption window of 8 to 10 years and an aging potential of up to 15 years, this wine is perfect for special occasions or for cellaring to enjoy its evolving complexity. It can also be enjoyed young for its vibrant fruit.

The Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru 'Les Embazées' is situated in the southern part of the appellation, bordering Santenay. This terroir typically yields Chardonnays with a slightly richer, more robust profile. The wine offers inviting aromas of ripe orchard fruits, toasted almonds, and a touch of honey, balanced by a fine mineral backbone and a long finish.
