Sylvain Debord Chassagne Montrachet Vieilles Vignes 2021
The Sylvain Debord Chassagne-Montrachet Vieilles Vignes is a truly exceptional example of premium white Burgundy, sourced directly from older vines in one of the most famous winemaking villages in the world. The deep roots of these older vines extract incredible flavour from the iconic Chassagne-Montrachet limestone soils, resulting in a French white wine that feels wonderfully rich, concentrated, and highly expressive in the glass. It delivers a vibrant rush of fresh orchard apple, white peach, and bright lemon citrus. The time spent resting in oak barrels perfectly rounds out the edges, adding a remarkably smooth texture alongside delicate hints of toasted hazelnut, butterscotch, and gentle baking spice. The concentrated Chardonnay fruit is beautifully balanced by a clean, mouth-watering acidity that leaves a highly rewarding and naturally fresh finish. This is a highly sophisticated white wine that effortlessly elevates a weekend dinner or special celebration. The elegant, lightly oaked profile makes it an outstanding match for classic, comforting dishes. It works wonderfully alongside roasted poultry, a creamy mushroom risotto, or a rich, buttery fish pie.
