Philippe Bouzereau’s 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge is a refined and expressive village-level Burgundy Pinot Noir that showcases both ripe fruit and classic Côte de Beaune elegance. In the glass it shows a deep, clear ruby color and releases an enticing bouquet of ripe cherries, raspberries and red plums intertwined with floral violet notes, soft spice, forest floor and a whisper of vanilla and toast from gentle oak influence. On the palate the wine is harmonious and medium-bodied, with lush red fruit framed by well-integrated, fine tannins and a bright, lively acidity that carries through to a long, fresh finish. Subtle mineral nuances and hints of spice and licorice add complexity, making this an approachable yet layered Burgundy that is delightful now and promising with a few years of cellaring.
