The wine is produced in the south of the Côte de Beaune, from vineyards surrounding the village of Chassagne-Montrachet. The Climat "Les Embazées" is located South of the the appellation and on the edge of the village of Santenay.
A nose of citrus and candied lemon characterizes the Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru "embazees" . These aromas echo on the powerful and rich palate with notes of almond paste, honey and vanilla. An ample and generous wine with a nice mineral finish.
Pairs well with meat and fish with a noble and beautiful texture (veal or chicken in white sauce, roasted sea bass, but also foie gras) or grilled seafood and sauce (shrimp, lobster ...). Delicious with cheeses (Camembert, Brie, Blue cheese, Goat cheese, Gruyere...).
"Toasted hazelnut, fresh cream and lemon create a promising nose on this wine. These notions continue on a buffered, textured palate, adding ripe Mirabelle and lemon brightness that bring lasting freshness and verve. - Anne KREBIEHL MW"

"This offers a tight texture, toast and spice flavors, and intense juicy acidity. With a firm structure and concentration, it has potential for long-term aging. The yellow fruits are beginning to open up while the more citric character is already giving the wine great freshness. Drink from 2018.
