Lucien Muzard & Fils Santenay Champs Claude Blanc 2022

The vines were planted in 1990 and in 2005, covering 1.57 hectares. The field is located near the village of Chassagne Montrachet on an east-facing, gentle slope. It is only 20 meters below the Premier Cru field Morgeot, Chassagne.

The soil is clay with limestone in the upper layers.

Hand-harvested, the grapes are pressed, and the must is lightly clarified before it reaches the barrel. Fermentation is achieved with natural yeast. The malolactic fermentation is typically completed during the winter months, in the underground cellars.

Aged in 350 liter casks for 10 months. A third of the cuvée is matured in barrels before being mixed in vats for homogenization for about 2 months.

A real pleasure cuvée.

The aroma is lots of fruit, especially yellow fruits. Notes of white flowers.

The taste is nice mineral and fresh, with a good balance to the fruit.

Enjoy this fine chardonnay in large glasses without too much cooling.

Perfect companion to lovely starters with fish and shellfish.
