The 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge from Domaine Hubert Lamy is an elegant and finely structured expression of Pinot Noir from one of the Côte de Beaune’s most storied villages. While Chassagne is best known for its whites, the red wines from its limestone-clay slopes can be extraordinary—combining depth, minerality, and aromatic precision. Lamy’s thoughtful biodynamic farming and light touch in the cellar yield a wine of clarity, texture, and grace.

Terroir
The vineyards in Chassagne-Montrachet are rich in limestone and clay, lending both structure and minerality to the reds. Lamy’s parcels sit on cooler mid-slope exposures, ensuring balance between ripeness and freshness. The result is a Pinot Noir that reflects its origins with refined tannins, lifted aromatics, and a core of bright red fruit.

Tasting Notes
Brilliant ruby in color, the 2023 opens with aromas of red cherry, raspberry, violet, and subtle spice, accented by hints of earth and graphite. The palate is silky yet energetic, with flavors of cranberry, wild strawberry, and pomegranate, underpinned by fine tannins and a streak of minerality. It finishes long and graceful, with the cool precision that defines Lamy’s style.

Domaine Hubert Lamy’s Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge 2023 is a refined, terroir-driven Pinot Noir that balances purity, elegance, and vibrancy. A rare red from this white-dominant village, it’s ideal with roast duck, game birds, or earthy mushroom dishes — and will evolve beautifully over the next 5–10 years.
