Domaine Gérard Thomas & FillesChassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Chenevottes 2023

About this wine

This premier cru from Chassagne-Montrachet is a brilliant introduction to Burgundy's white wine magic. Gerard Thomas crafts this Chardonnay from the Les Chenevottes vineyard, where limestone-rich soils give the wine its signature elegance and minerality.

In the glass, expect bright citrus notes of lemon and grapefruit, layered with white flowers and a subtle hint of hazelnut. The palate is beautifully balanced, with a creamy texture that doesn't overwhelm the wine's natural freshness. There's a lovely tension between the ripe fruit and the stony minerality that keeps you coming back for another sip.

This wine shines alongside seafood dishes like grilled sea bass, butter-poached lobster, or a classic Swiss lake fish like perch filets. It's also wonderful with creamy chicken dishes or a simple roasted chicken with herbs. Serve it slightly chilled at around 12°C to let all those delicate aromas unfold in your glass.
