Morey, Sylvain 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge

This fantastic village-level rouge comprises old selection-massale Pinot Noir from 3 plots: La Bressonne (0.5-ha planted in 1956), Les Lombardes, (0.25-ha. in 1967), and Les Chambres (0.2-ha. from 1974). It is made from 35% whole cluster vinification followed by a slow, gentle extraction. Aged for 18 months in 350-liter demi-muids, about 15% of which are new. This is a powerful but elegant style of Chassagne Rouge with strong notes of spice, and cherries and plum. There is great energy with acidity here, excellent for drinking now or cellar it for 3-5 years.
