Benoit Moreau Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Champs Gain 2022 750ml

The 1er Cru Champs Gain is in the heart of Chassagne-Montrachet, just below the famous En Cailleret. Like most of the surrounding crus, it is located on rich red clay soil. This profile is predisposed to give wines with a beautiful balance between juicy concentration and mineral finesse. Benoît vinifies grapes from a handkerchief-sized parcel of 70-year-old vines located on the upper part of the Premier Cru, where the soil is thinner and chalky, the vines quickly reaching the bedrock. These vines lie close to Moreau’s Maltroie parcels. The 2022 is a powerful, generous and seductive wine with ripe pear and apricot fruit and a lovely mineral kick to close.
