🏰 The 2020 Bernard Moreau Chassagne Montrachet Rouge Vieilles Vignes 1er Cru hails from a Burgundy vintage largely considered excellent, despite some tricky conditions. This wine is beautifully sappy and black fruity, with a bouquet that wafts from the glass in a mix of cassis, sweet blackberries, bitter chocolate, woodsmoke, pigeon, dark soil tones, and a whisper of oak. On the palate, it is full-bodied, focused, and nicely soil-driven, offering a sappy core of fruit, suave tannins, and a long, complex, well-balanced finish. Expect outstanding richness and caressing, medium-weight flavors that coat the palate with sappy dry extract. It bursts with aromas of cherries, berries, violets, plums, and dark chocolate, presenting as fleshy and vibrant with powdery tannins and a crunchy core of fruit. 【From 50-year-old vines, showcasing the new generation's talent under Alex Moreau】. 🍴 This elegant red Burgundy is a superb match for classic Pinot Noir pairings such as duck, goose, and various game birds. It also complements roasted poultry and earthy mushroom dishes. 🥂 A fine choice for a celebratory dinner, a gathering of Burgundy enthusiasts, or to mark a special occasion. While enjoyable now, its structure suggests good aging potential for further development.
