Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge, “Mes Vieilles Vignes”

Jean-Marc produces a remarkable red Chassagne-Montrachet from just over a hectare of Pinot Noir vines planted in 1960, and this old-vine cuvée is noteworthy in its complexity—particularly for a villages-level wine. Exceptionally structured, it nonetheless offers a purity of fruit, plus a gently earthy, brambly edge which speaks clearly of its Chassagne origin ... a village that should be more recognized for the high quality of its red wines, this being a prime example. 100% whole-cluster.
