My Tasting Note: The color is a deep red, ruby at the edges. The nose is red-fruited with bing cherry, cassis, black raspberry, with notes of spice and a dollop of vanilla. On the palate, the nose is confirmed, showing good depth, length, richness and most importantly freshness and energy that carries into that long finish.

If you love Pinot Noir, fruitiness, and freshness, this is the wine for you. This Chassagne-Montrachet Villages Vieilles Vignes 2022 from Domaine Paul Joaurd is the archetypal red wine from the Côte de Beaune, perfect for enjoying with grilled red meat or a meal with friends. It will delight everyone and get everyone talking, talking between two sips of pleasure.
