Domaine Bader-Mimeur Bourgogne Chardonnay Dessous les Mues 2022

Château de Chassagne-Montrachet dates back to the late Middle Ages. In the 17th century, it belonged to the last Lord of Chassagne, Sieur Clermont Montoison.

In 1919, Charles Mimeur acquired the historic vineyards, and the family continues to manage the estate until today. Today, the winery is run by Nathalie Bernard and Sébastien Fossier, who continue to evolve the estate in a family spirit, focusing on quality excellence both in the vineyards & in the cellar, with a strong ecological awareness

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Chardonnay from Bugundy, France. This comes from a plot called "Dessous les Mues", or "Under the Moults", located in the commune of Chassagne-Montrachet. Clay-limestone soil.

Taste Profile: Clear golden yellow color. A distinguished nose combining white fruit, mineral and vegetable notes and almonds. Round and full on the palate, with racy aromas invigorated by a lovely freshness. Discreet oak, long finish, a quality Burgundy. 

Winemaking Process: Hand-picked grapes only in crates of up to 30 kg. The whole bunches are pressed in a pneumatic press. The grape juice is then cold-settled before being gravity-filled within 24 hours. Alcoholic fermentation takes place entirely in barrels, using indigenous yeasts. The wine then ages in French oak barrels for 10 months, no new barrels, with regular stirring of the lees
