文豪デュマが「脱帽し、ひざまずいて飲むべし」とたたえた世界最高峰の白ワイン「モンラッシェ」

1731年創業、1775年にヴォルネーのカイユレ畑、タイユピエ畑などを取得しワイン造りを開始しました。1820年に、15世紀の要塞であるシャトー ド ボーヌを取得し瓶熟庫として利用しており、現在も19世紀のワイン約3000本が眠っています。1995年、シャンパーニュの老舗アンリオ家の故ジョゼフ アンリオがオーナーになると、ワイン造りの全工程において徹底した品質改革が行われました。

自社畑ブドウから造られるドメーヌワインと買いブドウからのネゴシアン部門がありますが、ドメーヌとしてのブシャールは、コート・ドールに約130ha(うちグランクリュ12ha、プルミエクリュ74ha)におよぶ優れた畑を所有するコート・ドール最大のドメーヌです。品質向上へのめざましい取組みにより、優れたテロワールの力が発揮され、国際的に高い評価を得ています。また、「幼子イエスのブドウ畑」の呼び名で有名な畑「ボーヌ グレーヴ ヴィーニュ・ド・ランファン・ジェズュ」の単独所有者としても知られています。

「モンラッシェ グラン・クリュ」は、DRCの区画に隣接し、ピュリニー側に位置する好区画。外交の華やかな場面でも供されてきたまぎれもない銘醸ワイン。洗練された香りが複雑で、色とりどりのアロマに香ばしい香りがブレンドされる。力強さとしなやかさ、上品さの完璧なハーモニー。

(94-96) Drinking Window 2027 - 2050 From: Servants of the Seasons: Burgundy 2021 (Jan 2023) The 2021 Montrachet Grand Cru is half the normal volume, pruned just before the frost with a massive number of candles, therefore it managed to produce 20hL/ha despite everything. This is unequivocally a step up from the Chevalier-Montrachet with greater definition and poise, more energy. The palate is well balanced with fine detail, light wild peach and citrus notes, fine mineralite with satisfying tension on the finish. Excellent. - By Neal Martin on November 2022

“It was a warm year, more than 2° Celsius above average, but mainly as February was warm. We were pruning in a t-shirt in February and March. Bud break was sooner than usual, mostly for Chardonnay. The beginning of April was cold with three nights of frost, the worst on 7 April. We tried to protect the vine with candles, but the humidity was 100%, and it was -6° Celsius plus snow at 2am. The buds were green with two leaves, and these were immediately burnt. We lost a huge volume, which had happened since 1910 or 1930. Our vineyards are all on the slope, and unfortunately here, bud break was more advanced, so we lost 80% of the estate, a majority of Chardonnay that was hit by oïdium. For the reds, Volnay was particularly damaged. The average yield is 10hL/ha for the Chardonnay and just under 20hL/ha for the Pinot Noir. May and June were overcast with regular showers - constant mildew and oïdium pressure. We did some effeuillage and manually used organic sprays. It was a vindication of organic. It was difficult using a tractor. August was better and the beginning of September nice, allowing us to reach maturity. Harvest began on 16 September, mainly with the Pinot Noir, as there were two types of grapes - those touched by the frost that had small, thick-skinned berries that needed longer to reach ripening and those untouched by the frost on a normal cycle with delicate skins and at risk from rot. It was important to select the grapes as there were many second-generation bunches that could be difficult to spot. The second-generation fruit is of a different colour and firmer [less squidgy]. Like in 2007, all the Chardonnays were picked after the Pinot Noirs, from 23 September, as they had thick skins and were not affected by rot. When we pressed the juice, there were some dusty notes that I systematically deselected, pressing a little harder at the end to extract aromas and potassium to decrease the acidity.”

“I increased the whole clusters because I wanted more matter to work with and potassium to decrease the sensation of acidity. For good extraction and volume, I wanted a good juice-to-pulp ratio to work and build the wines, striving for maturity. It was a shorter maceration, 12-15 days rather than 15-22 days, preferring an immediate alcoholic fermentation to protect the must in a reductive environment with only a softer pigeage after five or six days, no remontage to avoid any oxidation. For the whites, there was no racking, the malo finishing in June or July. More and more, I imagine the Village Crus will be bottled in February or March, the Premier and Grand Crus and the white later. The whites are fined this year with bentonite. It’s a very traditional, classic vintage with nice alcohol levels between 12.8% and 13.5%, the acidity more important than in the last few years, tartaric acid 7g/L and pH 3.2.”

The 2021 Montrachet Grand Cru opens in the glass with aromas of pear, confit orange, honeycomb, spices and freshly baked bread. Full-bodied, ample and satiny, it's rich, fleshy and complete, with lively acids and a long, expansive finish. Published: Feb 01, 2023
