Product Description:
A clear-eyed expression of red Burgundy from one of Chassagne’s quiet masters. Caroline Morey’s 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge reaffirms the pedigree of Pinot Noir from this white wine stronghold. The fruit comes from three parcels just below the village: Les Chênes, Les Pierres and Les Chambres. It is handled with the same care and clarity that defines her whites.
The vintage brought freshness and precision, captured here with 35 percent whole bunches and a gentle 12-month élevage. Bottled early to retain vibrancy, the wine is pale in colour, finely textured and lit with lifted red fruit. Small production and increasing demand continue to make these reds a quiet favourite among Burgundy collectors.
Tasting Notes
NOSE
– Fresh red fruits
Bright, lifted aromas of cranberry, cherry, and strawberry with subtle floral notes and a gentle earthy nuance.
PALATE
– Refined and balanced
Crunchy red fruit with sleek texture and very fine tannins; more substance than the Santenay, but still elegant and approachable. Moderate body, vibrancy, and subtle grip.
FINISH
– Clear and persistent
Medium length with freshness, fruit-driven clarity, and the promise of more complexity with age.
Reviews & Accolades
“Shows more stuffing than the Santenay, while retaining brightness and finesse. A light, elegant style that will evolve well with time.”
Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy, 88–90 points
