WINE DESCRIPTION

Benjamin Leroux Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru 'Abbaye de Morgeot' is a premium white wine produced by Benjamin Leroux, a renowned winemaker in Burgundy. The wine comes from the Chassagne-Montrachet appellation, which is known for producing some of the finest white wines in the world. The grapes are sourced from the Abbaye de Morgeot vineyard, which is located on a gentle slope with a south-eastern exposure, providing optimal growing conditions for the Chardonnay grapes. The wine is made using traditional winemaking techniques, including barrel fermentation and aging in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is elegant and complex, with notes of citrus, white flowers, and a subtle minerality. It is a perfect example of the classic Burgundian style of Chardonnay.
