Chassagne-Montrachet "Les Plantes Momières" Vieilles Vignes (Red)

Origine

A wine for laying down.

It is becoming increasingly rare to find very old Pinot Noir vines in Chassagne-Montrachet. We wanted to preserve this parcel as it was planted by Christiane's grandfather, Joseph Bachey, back in 1946. It grows in a beautiful location, just below the “Abbaye de Morgeot” 1er cru, on fairly calcareous soils.  Its exposure enables the grape to ripen early.

Vinification

Harvested by hand
Vinification: Cold pre-fermentation maceration (5 days), alcoholic fermentation (11 days), post-fermentation maceration (10 days)
14 months ageing: 12 months in barrels on the lees without any racking, then 2 months in vat. 100% in oak barrels, 20% of which are new.

Notes de dégustation

A wine boasting naturally firm and elegant tannins, which will retain its deep colour and black fruit aromas for several years. Age magnifies it.

Mets d'accompagnements

Cuts of beef, grilled meats, mature cheeses.
