2022 Armand Heitz Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot Rouge

2022 Armand Heitz Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot Rouge is a refined and expressive Pinot Noir from one of the key Premier Cru sites in Chassagne-Montrachet - an appellation better known for white wines but with a long tradition of producing structured reds . The nose is perfumed and layered, showing black cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry, intertwined with rose petals, forest floor and spice, delivering both aromatic lift and earthy complexity .

Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is exactly the kind of wine we position as a "hidden Burgundy gem". Red Chassagne is still under-recognised, which makes this a very smart buy - offering Premier Cru quality without the premium pricing of more famous villages. Compared to Pommard, it is lighter, more aromatic and approachable, but still has enough structure to age. This is perfect for customers who enjoy elegant, perfumed Pinot Noir (Chambolle / Volnay style) and want something a little different. Drink with light decanting now or cellar for 8–12+ years, pairing beautifully with duck, game or mushroom dishes.
