Description
The 2017 Monthélie 1er Cru “Le Château Gaillard” from Domaine Florent Garaudet is a white wine from the Côte de Beaune in Burgundy, in the Monthélie 1er Cru appellation. This terroir, nestled between Meursault and Auxey-Duresses, is less well-known than its prestigious neighbors but offers wines of great finesse and elegance, worthy of the great whites of Burgundy.
Produced exclusively from Chardonnay, this wine perfectly reflects the character of Monthélie whites: delicate, elegant, with beautiful minerality. The “Le Château Gaillard” climat is renowned for its clay-limestone soils that give the wine a distinct freshness and mineral tension.
Blend
100% Chardonnay. This iconic Burgundy grape is crafted with great precision here to reveal its full aromatic complexity.
Tasting Notes
Appearance: Pale yellow with brilliant golden reflections, revealing the wine’s youth and vitality.
Nose: The nose is expressive, marked by citrus aromas, white flowers, and subtle notes of hazelnut and flint.
Palate: On the palate, the wine is balanced, offering a beautiful freshness and round texture. Citrus and white fruit flavors, such as pear and peach, blend with fine, persistent minerality. The finish is long and elegant, with a touch of butter and gentle spices.
Aging Potential
This Monthélie 1er Cru can be enjoyed now for its freshness and fruity character, but it will gain complexity with a few years of aging. It can develop beautifully for 5 to 10 years, evolving towards more mature aromas of dried fruits, honey, and truffle.
