Chassagne Montrachet Rouge 2009
In Stock
Chassagne-Montrachet and its neighbour Puligny-Montrachet are well-known for their Grand Crus, the most famous being the Montrachet. However, apart from these white Grand Crus, Chassagne-Montrachet also produces, on its clay and iron-rich soils, outstanding red wines with heady aromas of cherry and blueberry. These wines have body and their structure is reminiscent of the reds from the Côte de Nuits.

Tasting Notes
Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge 2009 reveals a beautiful ruby red. It is a balanced and elegant wine, with aromas of cherry, licorice and vanilla. Still tight in the finish, it will take several years of ageing to reach its peak.
