Arnaud Baillot Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru ‘Chenevottes’ Blanc 2020
Our Verdict
Arnaud Baillot is one of the youngest Burgundian names Arnaud Baillot and his whites have quickly become favourites of ours. While he is still tiny in terms of production, and the allocations tiny, we think the wines have such wonderful energy and litheness to them that will impress the most discerning of Burgundy palates as well as those still starting out.
The Premier Cru vineyard of ‘Les Chenevottes’ lays on relatively flat land and is well positioned across the road from white Grand Cru ‘Le Montrachet’. These two vineyards have much in common sharing similar soil composition, exposure to the sun, orientation and flavour.
Yellow colour with golden reflections, this wine reveals aromas of fresh citrus fruits, lemon zest, white flowers and smoky notes. Toasted hazelnuts and spices are showing and the palate is beautiful round with a complex finish.
Sustainable agriculture with harvesting by hand over a number of days with each plot selected on ripeness with strict sorting in the vineyards. The wine is fermented in oak barrels before 12 months ageing in oak, 30% new barrel. Bottled unfiltered.
Very limited.
