Champs de l'Abbaye 2022 Cote Chalonnaise "Gardes ReMi"

The 2022 "Les Gardes Rémi" is a new wine for Les Champs de l'Abbaye, coming from a parcel of 70 year-old Pinot Noir vines in the Côte Chalonnaise.  "Beautiful freshness and aromatic expression" says winemaker Alain Hasard. It's definitely bursting with punchy red fruit and some oak spice on the nose, with a broad palate and enough weight to hold up to a variety of dishes while retaining ample acidity and refined tannins. It comes even more into focus after an hour or so open, and should continue to evolve nicely over the next five years.
