Chassagne Rouge is moving up in the world. Growers like Olivier Lamy, Thierry Pillot and Alex and Benoît Moreau (to mention only those producers we are following closely) show the heights this wine style can achieve with best-practice farming and excellent winemaking. The warmer seasons, too, have brought more approachability when the wines are young. This is from two small parcels of 50-year-old vines below the village. The 2023 fermented with 10% bunches and was aged with 15% new oak. It’s a classy Pinot with the depth to age.
