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 important;y 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.
