"Note that Colin uses the spelling of "Ancegnières" and not the traditional "Encégnières" for this wine; from 80+ year old vines. A subtle application of wood toast surrounds the petrol influenced nose that is composed primarily by both white and yellow orchard fruit aromas. There is a beguiling texture to the concentrated medium-bodied flavors that possess outstanding complexity for a villages level wine, all wrapped in a sappy and extract-rich finale. This is a fine effort that is worthy of your interest."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
Chassagne-Montrachet is a village AOC in Burgundy's Cote de Beaune with numerous Premier Crus, renowned above all for rich, nutty, mineral Chardonnay whites, though it also makes firm Pinot Noir reds.
2013 in Burgundy was a difficult, cool and hail-hit year with a late harvest and small crop; the wines are fresh, lean and classically styled, with bright acidity and firm structure, especially the reds.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
