Domaine Bachey-Legros Chassagne-Montrachet 2020 (75cl, 13.5%)

A village-level white Burgundy from Chassagne-Montrachet, made from 100% Chardonnay and bottled at 13.5% ABV in a 750ml bottle. The fruit comes from old vines planted between 1935 and 1955, and the wine earned one star in the Guide Hachette des Vins. The Bachey-Legros family has farmed around Santenay for six generations, with viticulture described as sustainable and traditional. The bouquet opens with lively pear and green apple, then delicate white flowers and toasted hazelnut. The palate is bright and buoyant, with crisp orchard fruit giving way to stone fruit and subtle nuttiness, full-bodied without heaviness and anchored by a mineral undercurrent. The finish is notably lengthy, driven by chalky minerality, with lingering hazelnut and citrus peel.
