Chassagne Montrachet Blanc 2022
The 2022 Chassagne Montrachet Blanc from Philippe Charlopin exemplifies the richness and sophistication for which this prestigious white wine commune is renowned.
The nose is complex and refined, offering ripe orchard fruits - particularly golden apple and white peach - complemented by subtle notes of white flowers, toasted hazelnuts, and crushed stones. The aromatic profile shows both the generosity of the warm 2022 vintage and the natural precision of Chassagne's terroir.
On the palate, the wine displays impressive concentration while maintaining energy and focus. The texture is rich yet precise, with vibrant acidity providing excellent tension. The limestone-rich soils contribute pronounced mineral precision, while the warmth of 2022 brings beautiful ripeness. The finish is long and detailed, with waves of fruit, nutty notes, and mineral elements that continue to unfold.
This wine brilliantly captures both the noble character of Chassagne Montrachet and Charlopin's ability to craft whites of depth and refinement.
