Description
This comes from the lieux-dits of Grands Clos and Clos Chareau, the former higher up on limestone soils, the latter lower down with more clay. Such is the demand for whites from the village, top red Chassagne is almost a dying breed. This is a fine example, satisfying in its ruggedness, yet seductive in its summer pudding fruit. Although lighter than recent vintages, this will still need a while to come together.

Critics reviews
From Grand Clos and the last bit of Clos Chareau, so 16 ares and 13 ares respectively now, hence a small cuvée. Medium crimson in colour with the most pronounced fruit to date: red berries and roses in full bloom. Still dry at the finish for now, but the fruit in the wine will surmount this.
Drink 2025 - 2030
From Clos Chareau and Grand Clos.
A more deeply pitched and slightly riper nose features red cherry, spice, freshly ground pepper notes and more earth influence. There is a better size, weight and richness, if not the same refinement to the solidly powerful, more austere and slightly rustic finale. Note that this is firm enough to repay up to a decade of keeping.
Drink from 2028 onward
