Vincent Girardin Chassagne Montrachet Blanchots-Dessus 1er Cru 2019 [NET]

$16999

Blanchot-Dessus is one of Chassagne-Montrachet's most coveted 1er Crus, a tiny sliver of vines sitting directly below Le Montrachet itself. The pedigree shows: this is a wine with the structure and gravitas of its illustrious neighbor, only at a fraction of the cost. 2019 was a warm, generous vintage that gave white Burgundy real concentration and weight without losing focus. Vincent Girardin, one of the most reliable hands in the Côte de Beaune for top white Burgundy, treats the site with the deference it deserves. Offered net of import to bring you closer to the source.

"The 2019 Chassagne-Montrachet Blanchot-Dessus 1er Cru comes from the estate’s own parcel of 45-year-old vines. This has a focused bouquet with a notch more mineralité compared to the La Romanée. The palate is well balanced, presenting lime, apricot and light ginger notes on the entry. There is good weight on the palate and fine salinity. Fresh and marine-influenced with a light tang of ginger perking up the finish. Enjoy this well-crafted Chassagne over the next 15 years." —Neal Martin

"The 2019 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Blanchots Dessus is another of the portfolio's highlights. Mingling aromas of pear, orange oil and confit citrus with hints of clear honey, white flowers, fresh pastry and hazelnuts, it's full-bodied, satiny and ample, with an enveloping core of fruit, lively acids and a sensual, seamless profile. This is one of the most dramatic wines in the range." —William Kelley

"Blanchot-Dessus is essentially a southern continuation of Le Montrachet. The domaine-owned parcel here normally yields a rich, complex wine that is among the Girardin signatures. There is elegant, ripe pear fruit, scented with white flowers and a touch of butter. On the palate, the acidity is a bit soft yet still sufficient to balance both the rich fruit character and sturdy breadth produced here."

Tasting Profile

Rich and concentrated but precise — orchard fruit, hazelnut, and a deep mineral pull. Big-shouldered but elegant.
