Chassagne Montrachet Rouge 2023

What kind of wine it is

Chassagne Montrachet Rouge is a still red wine that embodies the authentic character of Burgundy through the purity of Pinot Noir. On the palate, it stands out for its precise and structured style, with a fruity profile supported by a pleasant roundness. This balanced texture leads to a clear persistence, making it the ideal companion for pork roasts, game, and cheeses. The care taken in the cellar processes results in a clear taste definition, capable of expressing all the typicality of the original grape variety in the glass.

Where it comes from

This wine originates from the historic Chassagne-Montrachet appellation, located in the heart of the Côte-d’Or. The Christian Bergeret et Fille winery cultivates its own vines over an area of fourteen hectares, spread across six different villages in the region. The vineyards, thanks to their advanced average age, guarantee a consistent raw material with remarkable aromatic expression. The plots, carefully tended and partly replanted by the estate, provide intact grapes, an essential foundation for the structure of this label.

How it is produced

Production follows a strict classic vinification process, aimed at enhancing the delicate aromas of Pinot Noir. The wine matures in oak barrels for a period ranging from twelve to eighteen months, a crucial stage that consolidates its body and stability. In the glass, it reveals itself with a ruby red hue, introducing a bouquet dominated by red fruits and fragrant spicy notes. If tasted after adequate aeration, it reveals a solid potential for evolution, allowing bottle ageing for over a decade to amplify its natural complexity.
