French Red
Domaine Chapelle & Fils Chassagne Montrachet Morgeot 1er Cru, Burgundy, France 2010
- 100% Pinot Noir
- Certified Organic
Nestled above the ancient Abbey of Morgeot near the Chassagne-Santenay border, this is among the top Pinot Noir vineyards of this village, which is more famous for its white. The reds of Chassagne-Montrachet are among the best-kept secrets of the Côte d’Or and this is a great example of why. This wine is elegant and full-bodied at the same time. Ripe tannins and a gritty texture provide freshness and structure to the dark plum flavors of this classic Pinot Noir from one of the best vintages in the past twenty years. This will continue to age beautifully.
