Get to know: Emma & Christian Sorine, Chassagne-Montrachet Les Benoites 2020
Tasting Note
This wonderful example of this top-class appellation. It greets the nose with a complex and refined aroma, boasting elegant notes of peaches, grapefruit, and pear, intertwined with subtle notes of hazelnuts, spring blossoms, and a hint of oak. On the palate, it is lively evolving into rich, powerful, and generous flavours held together with a pure seam of acidity and a citrusy zest in the finish. Its structure is round and mouth-filling yet refreshing, with a creamy texture and a lasting aromatic finish. A balanced, delicate, and exquisite wine indeed.
