100% Chardonnay from within the Montagny-Ls-Buxy sub region. Aged n 500L oak barrels. Les Bassets was acquired in 2002 from his parents. This was his first Premier Cru from Montagny, and therefore serves as a sort of flag ship for what Domaine Cognard is all about. Les Bassets is near Buxy and is dived between the lower part, which is classified Village, and the upper part is Premier Cru. This upper part is nearly 6 hectares and is owned entirely by Laurent Cognard. The exposure is to the east, and is made up mostly of Limestone. Because of this soil this wine offers a lot of minerality, complimented by the cooler winds from the west, resulting in a leaner, more vibrant style of Burgundy Chardonnay. Admirers of Chablis will certainly enjoy this.
