Chassagne Montrachet Rouge "Vieilles Vignes" 2022 | Wine from the Benoit Moreau estate

Chassagne Montrachet Rouge "Vieilles Vignes" 2022 | Wine from Domaine Benoit Moreau

The Domaine Benoît Moreau, located in Chassagne-Montrachet, continues a family winemaking tradition dating back to the 19th century. With meticulous management of the 14 hectares of the estate, brothers Alexandre and Benoît Moreau combine ancestral know-how with modern practices, including biodynamics. These winemakers are committed to producing wines that faithfully express the Burgundy terroirs, without the use of chemical inputs, and with carefully controlled aging to preserve the brightness of the fruit.

The Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge "Vieilles Vignes" 2022 comes from carefully maintained plots, where the soils are tilled and chemical treatments are banned in favor of organic practices. The Pinot Noir vines, located between 220 and 325 meters in altitude, benefit from an exceptional terroir. The grapes, harvested at perfect maturity, undergo natural fermentation followed by aging in barrels, including 15% new wood, for more than 12 months. This meticulous vinification ensures an unfiltered, pure, and vibrant wine.

The deep ruby color immediately catches the eye. The nose offers a complex and generous bouquet, blending aromas of blueberries, black cherries, and a subtle touch of spices. On the palate, this wine reveals a beautiful structure, a rich aromatic palette, and an elegant and persistent finish. This great Burgundy classic deserves a few years in the cellar to fully express its potential.

This Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge pairs perfectly with flavorful dishes such as chicken bouillabaisse, watercress velouté, or quails with prunes. Its power and fruitiness also enhance roasted red meats and aged cheeses.
