FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

If I like white wines from Puligny-Montrachet, why should I be interested in this Chassagne?

White wines from Chassagne are generally fuller-bodied than those from Puligny, while retaining lovely tension. This appellation may therefore interest you if you are looking for more substance without sacrificing a taut balance.

Does the stated minerality mean the white wine is austere?

Not necessarily: the description combines minerality with a full-bodied texture and restrained power. This mineral quality should therefore be seen as part of the wine’s balance, rather than as a promise of a stripped-back wine.

What should I look for when tasting to appreciate this wine’s balance?

Notice how the wine’s volume on the palate works with its tension: does the texture take over, or does it retain its energy? It is this balance between body, restrained power, and minerality that the appellation’s description invites you to explore.

Does the village-level classification mean the white wine is light-bodied?

The village-level classification alone is not enough to describe how weighty a wine feels on the palate. On the contrary, the description of Chassagne-Montrachet refers to full-bodied white wines, so it is best not to choose this bottle based solely on an expectation of lightness.

Is the appellation’s profile enough to know the character of this 2018 Bachelet-Monnot?

It provides a general reference point, but it is not a tasting note for this bottle. The information provided does not allow us to attribute specific aromas to the 2018 vintage or to describe it as riper or fresher than another vintage.
