2020 Guy Amiot - Chassagne Montrachet Baudines

A large single plot measuring 1 hectare, planted by “massal selection” (the traditional method of selecting suitable reproductive material from the best plants, in a particular farm or other holdings) in the 1930s on marly soil with southern exposure, on the border of the communes of Puligny-Montrachet and Corpeau. Rich soil, particularly suited to the production of “generic” Burgundy appellations (Chardonnay, Aligoté and Pinot Noir).

Tasting:

Ideal drinking window of 2 to 3 years – variable depending on transport and storage conditions.
Ageing potential of 5 years – variable depending on transport and storage condition

-Winery notes

Tasting:

Ideal drinking window of 5 to 8 years
