Chevalier Montrachet Grand Cru 2018 Jerome Castagnier 75 cl

Description

History

To fully understand Jérôme Castagnier’s “negoce” proposal, it is important to consider some preliminary points. The activity of “négociant” usually involves intermediaries or producers who market large quantities of bottles. In the case of Jérôme Castagnier, on the other hand, the quantities are even lower than the already small ones of his original Domaine Castagnier. This proposal focuses on vineyards of the highest quality, with particular attention to the white wines of the Côte de Beaune and the reds from the prestigious Vosne Romanee area and its historic Crus.

The grapes used do not come from other winegrowers, but are cultivated directly by Jérôme according to biodynamic principles on carefully selected sites and subsequently rented. After manual harvesting, the grapes are vinified in the family cellar in Morey Saint Denis, following the producer’s distinctive and identifying stylistic approach.

When you look at these labels, you will be surprised, but it will be by tasting them that you will be truly conquered. Jérôme Castagnier has created wines that offer a unique experience, reflecting his dedication and unmistakable style.

Possible combinations

The Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru lends itself wonderfully to refined pairings. It is perfect to be enjoyed with high quality fish and shellfish dishes, such as smoked salmon, grilled prawns or scallops in butter and lemon sauce. The complexity and richness of this wine marry beautifully with the delicacy and intense flavors of these dishes.

Furthermore, the Chevalier-Montrachet is an excellent accompaniment to white meat dishes, such as chicken with truffles or veal in a creamy sauce. Its lively acidity and structured body harmonize perfectly with the tenderness of the meat and the rich sauces.

For more daring table combinations, you can also try seasoned hard cheeses, such as Comté or Gruyère, which allow you to appreciate the complex nuances of the wine.

Finally, the Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru can be appreciated on its own as a meditation wine, to fully enjoy its complexity and extraordinary aromas. It is an ideal choice for special occasions and for wine lovers looking to explore the grandeur of a white Burgundy Grand Cru.
