2018 Vincent Girardin Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Le Cailleret

Burgundy · Chassagne-Montrachet

Burgundy, or Bourgogne, runs north to south through eastern France, from Chablis through the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune to the Mâconnais. Almost everything here is Pinot Noir or Chardonnay, grown on small parcels called climats that have been mapped for centuries and ranked from regional and village wines up to Premier Cru and Grand Cru. The result is wine of unusual precision: the same grape, a few hundred metres apart, tasting unmistakably different.
