The 2023 Domaine Marc-Antonin Blain Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge is an elegant and refined Burgundy Pinot Noir crafted in the heart of the Côte de Beaune, showcasing the finesse, purity and terroir expression for which the appellation is renowned. The nose is beautifully perfumed, revealing aromas of ripe cherry, wild strawberry and raspberry, complemented by delicate violet, subtle spice, forest floor and finely integrated French oak.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with silky, fine-grained tannins, vibrant natural acidity and a beautifully seamless texture, delivering flavours of red cherry, cranberry and wild berries layered with hints of earthy spice, dried herbs and subtle mineral complexity. The finish is long, elegant and persistent, reflecting the precision and balance that define fine Burgundy.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an exceptional Burgundy for customers seeking a refined Pinot Noir with elegance, complexity and authentic terroir expression. Perfect for special occasions, fine dining or building a cellar. Enjoy now after a gentle decant, or cellar over the next 8–12 years as it develops greater savoury and earthy complexity. Ideal with roast duck, quail, mushroom risotto, veal, truffle dishes or soft-ripened cheeses.
