Typical price

€120-€170 per bottle (release price; subject to allocation and market fluctuations)

Tasting profile

Crisp citrus (lemon, kumquat), white peach, subtle pear, light hazelnut, fresh toast and light floral notes from young oak. Mineral undertones (wet stone, chalk), with palpable fresh acidity and gentle creaminess from lees.

Evolution: Over the next 4-8 years, the wine will build in complexity: tree ripeness (pear, apple), honeyed notes, deeper nutty and buttery elements, truffle, and increased minerality, with the oak and reduction integrating for a seamless palate.

At peak: At peak, expect harmony of fruit, minerality, fine acidity, and nuanced tertiary notes with a lingering, silky finish.

Structure

Acidity

Medium to high, providing freshness and ageability typical of top Burgundy Chardonnay

Tannins

Very low (white wine; minimal phenolic grip from skins/barrel aging possible)

Alcohol

13.0-13.5% ABV (typical for the appellation and vintage style)

Aging potential

8-14 years with increasing complexity and depth expected after 4+ years in bottle

Drinking window

Peak drinking

2029 to 2034

Optimal window

2027 to 2036

Current status

Very young; primary fruit and oak currently dominate. Needs time for optimal balance.

Current condition

Structured, youthful, tightly wound; best to wait for further integration.

Chassagne-Montrachet from top sites like En Pimont can be austere young, but with proper aging, it evolves into a complex, elegant wine. Peak drinking is reached as new oak fades and primary fruit gives way to richer, textural, and mineral expressions.

Food pairing

Ideal with lobster in butter sauce, lightly seared scallops, roast chicken with herbs, veal in cream sauce, rich mushroom dishes, or aged comté cheese.

Serving

Serving temperature

11-13°C / 52-55°F

Decant

Yes (30-60 minutes (when young)) — Helps open up aromas and soften youthful structure; aeration highlights minerality and reduces youthful oak.

Sustainability

Sustainability score: 7/10

Minimal chemical use, focus on soil health and biodiversity, selective hand-harvesting, natural grass cover, and responsible vineyard management; some use of traditional methods, but not fully organic.

Camille & Guillaume Boillot are known for careful, sustainable viticulture practices, though they have not pursued formal ecological or biodynamic certification. Their moves toward integrated pest management and respect for terroir earn a solid score, but lack of full certification and modern packaging innovations slightly lower their overall rating. Carbon footprint is typical for artisanal Burgundy estates with premium packaging and global distribution.
