Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge "Vieilles Vignes" 2021 | Wine from the Alex Moreau estate

Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge "Vieilles Vignes" 2021 | Wine from Domaine Alex Moreau

The Domaine Alex Moreau, located in Chassagne-Montrachet, continues a wine-growing tradition respectful of the terroir. Cultivating its vines using organic farming methods (not certified), Alex Moreau favors a minimalist and low-intervention approach, allowing the grapes to express their full authenticity. The old vines over 55 years old, deeply rooted in clay-limestone soils, give this wine a beautiful complexity and balanced structure.

This Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge 2021 comes from an exceptional terroir, exposed Southeast, ensuring an optimal maturation of the grapes. After manual harvesting, fermentation begins thanks to indigenous yeasts. The gentle maceration, without forcing extraction, preserves the finesse and elegance of the Pinot Noir. Aging in barrels of several wines for 15 months, followed by a refinement in vat for three months, brings a beautiful harmony and silky texture.

• Appearance: Garnet red with bright reflections.

• Nose: Expressive and delicate, revealing notes of red fruits (morello cherry, raspberry), undergrowth, and mild spices.

• Palate: Balanced and elegant, with a beautiful freshness, fine tannins, and a persistent finish marked by a subtle mineral touch.

This Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge "Vieilles Vignes" 2021 pairs perfectly with grilled meats, such as a veal chop with herbs or a roasted duck breast. It also enhances roasted poultry, such as a free-range chicken with mushrooms, as well as aged cheeses, like a Brillat-Savarin or an Époisses.
