Ropiteau Chassagne-Montrachet V.2020
From core d’Or, Burgundy, France, a Sophisticated & Layered Chardonnay.

A beautifully crafted white Burgundy showing poise, complexity, and finesse. The nose is refined, vanilla, lemon zest, buttered toast, stone fruits, and a whisper of hazelnut. Even five years in, it shines with bright acidity and a stony minerality.

On the palate, it’s dry and layered, subtle oak, citrus, apricot, and honey glide into a long, elegant finish. Medium+ acidity keeps it lifted and precise. Definitely cellar-worthy, but already drinking beautifully.

Pair it with rich poultry, lobster, creamy sauces, or aged cheeses. Pure class in the glass. 🍋🍑🧈 — 15 days ago

1976 vintage. Suspect and completely saturated aging cork. Decanted for giggles. Color definitely yellow but not golden. No sed but rationalized the juice needing space to spread wings. Medium body. Surprisingly, still viable acidity. Big, initial hazelnut component got next chapter religion and morphed into macadamia nut after 45 mins. Some marzipan on the ripe finish. 10.14.23. — 2 years ago

A classical, and more regional-driven Burgundian 100% Pinot Noir. Enticing sharp red cherry color, red fruity aromas with rounded acidity, so typical from Burgundy’s soil of clay-limestone based. Since it combines grapes sourcing from village to village with different terroirs selected to enhance an elegant expression of Pinot Noir, this one still keeps the Ropiteau’s house style. It is definitely an excellent region representation at an excellent price point. Cheers! — 3 months ago

Pale lemon with aromas of citrus, stone fruits and honey floral notes. On the palate flavors of apple, melon and lemon citrus with notes of honey and spice. Medium+ finish, vivid acidity and ends with mineral spice. Nice! — 3 years ago
