WINE DESCRIPTION
Joseph Drouhin Chassagne-Montrachet is a premium white wine produced by the renowned Burgundy producer Joseph Drouhin. The wine comes from the Chassagne-Montrachet, known for its high-quality Chardonnay grapes. The vineyards are located on gentle slopes with a mix of limestone and clay soils, which impart a unique minerality to the wine. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, gentle pressing, and aging in oak barrels to add complexity and depth. The resulting wine is elegant and refined, with notes of citrus, white flowers, and a subtle hint of oak. It is a perfect match for seafood, poultry, and creamy pasta dishes.
