The 2021 Hubert Bouzereau-Gruere, Chassagne-Montrachet "Les Blanchots Dessous" was a Merchant's Pick
Chassagne-Montrachet's Crown-Jewel
June 25, 2024
Les Blanchot Dessous is an exclusive lieu-dit (vineyard) within the village of Chassagne-Montrachet. This prized site is adjacent to the iconic Grand Cru Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet - literally butting up against it.
Its location cannot be replicated - nor can its value among the most sought after of white Burgundies.
Les Blanchot Dessous is regarded as one of the finest lieu-dit in Chassagne-Montrachet and is snatched up by collectors in the know.
The 2021 Bouzereau-Gruere Chassagne Blanchot Dessous is an expressive Chardonnay. The vineyard consistently produces Grand Cru-like quality with its elegant fruit, balance, and vibrancy. It boasts white flowers, almond, and honeysuckle. The palate, full of white peach, lemon zest, apple, and citrus, has mouthwatering acidity and a flinty, mineral-driven edge found only in the finest white Burgundies.
Hubert Bouzereau's Les Blanchots Dessous offers readers the quality of highly prized Grand Cru fruit at a fraction of the price.
To put this wine's value in perspective, the wines from the bordering Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet range in price from $400 to $2,500 per bottle!
Simply put, this Chassagne-Montachet is a gem!
You can enjoy it now and over the next fifteen years.
Only 30 cases were imported for the entire country.
Cheers!
