The 2022 Philippe Bouzereau Chassagne-Montrachet Pasquelles is a refined white Burgundy from the prestigious Chassagne-Montrachet appellation in France’s Côte de Beaune. Produced from Chardonnay, this wine reflects the depth, structure and mineral precision associated with the village while maintaining balance and restraint. The 2022 vintage delivered ripe yet focused fruit, resulting in a wine that combines generosity with freshness. The nose is layered and expressive, showing aromas of lemon curd, white peach and ripe pear alongside subtle notes of toasted hazelnut, brioche and fine chalky minerality.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with bright acidity and a smooth, textured mouthfeel that gives the wine both richness and precision. Flavours of citrus, stone fruit and crisp orchard fruits are supported by restrained oak influence, adding gentle spice, creaminess and savoury complexity without overshadowing the vineyard character. The limestone-rich soils of Chassagne-Montrachet contribute tension and mineral structure, while careful maturation enhances depth and balance. The finish is long, dry and persistent with lingering citrus, hazelnut and mineral notes.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent white Burgundy for customers who enjoy structured and mineral-driven Chardonnay with subtle oak integration and layered complexity. The 2022 vintage is approachable now while continuing to evolve gracefully over the next 6–10 years. Best served lightly chilled with lobster, roast chicken, scallops, creamy poultry dishes or aged soft-rind cheeses.
