The Ropiteau Chassagne-Montrachet Blanc 2023 is a jewel of viticulture in the Côte de Beaune, Burgundy. This fine white wine from the legendary Maison Ropiteau Frères is made from Chardonnay grapes from selected plots in Chassagne-Montrachet. The clay-limestone soils, along with a warm climate, allow for optimal ripening, preserving a vibrantly balanced acidity. After gentle pressing, the wine ferments partially in stainless steel tanks before transferring to French oak barrels (30-40% new), where it undergoes malolactic fermentation and ages on fine lees for 8 months. Its pale yellow color announces floral and mineral aromas, while its flavor balances precision and roundness. Perfect for pairing with fine cuisine, it is ideally served between 12°C and 14°C. Its bottle longevity ranges from 5 to 10 years, reflecting the craftsmanship of Ropiteau Frères.
