Sub-region	Cote de Beaune AOC Grand Cru - Bienvenues Batard Montrachet
Producer	Doudet-Naudin

Grape Variety	100% Chardonnay
Terroir	The underlying rocks date from the Jurassic, 175 million years BC. Exposures lie to the East and the South. Altitudes: 265-290 metres (Chevalier) ; 250-270 metres (Montrachet) ; 240-250 metres (Bâtard, Bienvenues, Criots). In the Climat of Montrachet, the soils are thinnish and lie on hard limestone traversed by a band of reddish marl. In Chevalier, the soils are thin and stony rendzinas derived from marls and marly-limestones. In the Bâtard Climat soils are brown limestone which are deeper and, at the foot of the slope, more clayey.
Tasting Notes	The colour is gold flecked with emerald, darkening towards yellow with age. The bouquet evokes butter and warm croissants, bracken, dried fruit, spices and honey. Body and bouquet are not separately distinguishable, so closely blended are structure and harmony into a single perfect whole. Unctuous and firm, dry and caressing, enveloped and profound, these wines combine every virtue in a firmly-established personality. "There is no argument: this is the finest expression of the Chardonnay grape anywhere on earth ! The appellations Grands Crus date from 31 July, 1937." Vins de Bourgogne Food Pairing: Sophisticated dishes like foie gras, caviar, lobster, crawfish, wild prawn, monkfish, cream sauced poultry and veal.
