Chassagne Montrachet Rouge 2008
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.
