Tasting Notes

This Chassagne-Montrachet rouge reveals a brilliant ruby robe with raspberry reflections. The nose offers scented pure red fruit with ripe, fresh citrus and peach notes supported by a subtle creamy touch. The palate is fruit-filled and mouth-watering with an appealing grip towards the end. Classic aromas are stamped with tones of cherry-kirsch and blackcurrant, presenting a broad and structured expression of Pinot Noir with plump red berry fruit, good weight, an appealing luscious crunch, and a touch of savory spice. The finish shows gentle but persistent mineral length.
