In the Glass — Tasting Notes

Ripe pineapple and a whisper of buttery pastry open on the nose, followed by a rich, round palate where bright acidity cuts cleanly through. This Chardonnay rewards with textural generosity and lingering length — the kind of wine built to drink with real pleasure.

The Winery — Domaine Changarnier

Perched 365 metres above sea level in Monthélie, overlooking the Meursault and Auxey-Duresses valleys, this family estate was established in 1720. Today, brothers Antoine and Claude lead the domaine alongside Fabrice Groussin, a modern winemaker trained in Chassagne-Montrachet who champions organic viticulture to express the unique character of each site. The 2023 vintage benefited from late summer warmth and careful sorting after a challenging July, delivering grapes at peak ripeness. Indigenous-yeast fermentation in oak (20% new) followed by a full year in barrel built the wine's texture without overwhelming its fruit. Hand-harvested and certified organic since 2019, every bottle reflects the precision and respect for terroir that define this rising generation.

At Your Table — Food Pairing & Serving

This is an instinctive partner for roasted or poached chicken with butter sauces, steamed seafood in cream, and the soft cheeses that belong on any refined table. The deep, clay-rich soils of the west-facing vineyard give the wine its substance; altitude and aspect provide its structure—making it equally graceful with mushroom dishes and oily fish. At 13.5% alcohol, it drinks with freshness despite its richness, making it perfect for date nights and the kind of thoughtful gifting that says you've chosen with care.
