2021 Domaine Hugh Liddell Chassagne-Montrachet Les Lombardes France

GW says: Hugh Liddell’s Chassagne Montrachet Les Lombardes is like a refined whisper of Burgundy— sophisticated, charming, and utterly unforgettable. A toast to understated elegance! Drink a piece of History.   

Grapes: 100% Chardonnay 

Appearance: Pour this golden nectar into your glass, and you'll be greeted by a shimmering hue that whispers “luxury” louder than a Baja Bug at Santa Pod. It’s the kind of colour that makes you want to take a selfie, but hey, it’s not all about me ! It’s about the grapes ! 

Aroma: The nose is a sniffing symphony of decadence —ripe orchard fruits like apples and pears dance happily alongside toasted brioche, almonds, and dried flowers. Imagine walking through English summer meadow with a hint of pastry and a sprinkle of floral finesse in your nostrils ! 

Palate: On the palate, it’s as rich and creamy as your grandma’s best custard, but with a zesty kick of fresh citrus and apple that keeps things lively. The texture is smooth, almost like velvet pyjamas for your taste buds, and it finishes with a long, complex encore— a standing ovation
