Tasting Notes
One of the greatest white wines in the world, the quintessence of Chardonnay! Truly the greatest vintage produced by Xavier Monnot. A masterful wine of unprecedented youth and complexity. Already on the nose, one detects all the race, the power and the complexity of this great vintage. Aromas of ripe peaches and citrus fruits mingle with spicy notes, white flowers, light honey and fresh pastry... Wow what a nose! Rich and wide mouth with a perfect maturity where we can detect all the greatness of this Corton-Charlemagne Grand-Cru. Huge aging potential, but already very big in 2022! Serve cool, but not cold, and decant 30 minutes before discovering. Great happiness!

Vinification and Aging
After hand-harvesting, Chardonnay is lightly crushed by foot before pressing. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in barrels using indigenous yeasts. During barrel aging, the wines undergo full malolactic fermentation and bâtonnage occurs at the end of the alcoholic fermentation.
