2019 Roux-Duval Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Abbaye de Morgeot

Domaine Roux-Duval is a composition of 2 icons and consists of two historic winegrower families who specialize in the great Chardonnays of Burgundy and Champagne. It originated from the friendship between Christian Roux and Jean-Charles Duval. Their dream of creating an exceptional domain together was finally realized 25 years later by their respective sons, Sébastien Roux and Edouard Duval. The Roux-Duval Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Abbaye de Morgeot is of course a 100% Chardonnay from a small plot that only produces around 600-700 bottles. After the manual harvest, the wine remains in oak for approximately 16 months, of which approximately 20% is new French oak and the rest is 2nd and 3rd year. In the glass the wine has a beautiful straw yellow color with green accents and golden sparkles. Aromas of blossom, acacia and notes of hazelnut and fresh butter. The wine has a deep minerality and notes of honey and ripe pear. It is full of flavor with a surprisingly spicy acidity. Spicy and spicy with a tense, phenolic aftertaste.
