TASTING & FOOD PAIRINGS

King of the eternal hill unveils, a sober perfume of cold stones licked by the torrent. The body hunkered down in the shadow, a bed rock of mineral intensity. On the palate the seconds string out before the moment of pleasure. A monastic patience is required for this wine, to allow time to finish the construction of this monument.

Domaine Jean Chartron Montrachet is sophisticated and should be paired with food of the same calibre. Goes well with a rich dish, such as salmon with a mushroom sauce, caviar, prawns or crawfish, monkfish, veal, chicken in a creamy sauce.

To be served : from 2016 until 2024 at 13~15C.
