Bouzereau-Gruere Chassagne-Montrachet Les Blanchots Dessous 2023
The vineyard for this wine ADJACENT next to the great white burgundy Grand Crus of Montrachet. In this case, Les Blacnhot Dessous sits right next to Les Criots-Batard-Montrachet, abutting the vineyard. As you can see in the map photo included here I circled this site and the grand crus, the vineyard has a PRIME location! We thought that this was such a big deal that we should shine a little more light on this one!
