Pied Mont Chauve, Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Chaumées 2022 75cl

Want a white Burgundy that makes Chardonnay feel genuinely exciting? This dry 2022 Premier Cru comes from Les Chaumées in Chassagne-Montrachet, Côte de Beaune, bringing ripe citrus and orchard fruit together with a chalky, savoury edge. It has the richness for a celebratory dinner, yet bright acidity keeps every sip focused, fresh and seriously easy to return to. This is Chardonnay with detail you can taste, not labels you need to decode.

• Appearance: Bright pale gold with a clear, polished sheen.
• Nose: Lemon peel, white peach, fresh pear and lightly toasted hazelnut.
• Palate: Ripe orchard fruit, bright acidity, chalky minerality and gentle creaminess.
• Body: Medium to full, layered and generous without feeling heavy.
• Finish: Long and savoury, leaving citrus, hazelnut and wet-stone notes behind.

Serve lightly chilled, then let it warm in the glass to reveal its fuller texture and nutty detail.

Pour it with roast chicken, butter-poached lobster or creamy mushroom pasta. All three love its freshness and depth.

If village-level white Burgundy is your comfort zone, this Premier Cru is the rewarding next step for extra depth and vineyard character.

Fun Fact: Les Chaumées is a named Premier Cru vineyard within Chassagne-Montrachet, so the label pinpoints a specific site rather than only the broader village.
