Gagnard-Delagrange Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeot 2018

Chassagne-Montrachet rouge can have some of the same characteristics found in the red wines of the Côte de Nuits. Also, they can have some of the same tannins and earthiness found in Nuits-Saint-Georges and the premier crus, and can occasionally rival the complexity and longevity found in more famous red wine villages.

The wine takes its structure from grapes grown in Morgeot and its elegance from those grown in Clos Saint-Jean. It is completely destemmed and aged in used oak barrels for 15 months before bottling. Only four barrels are produced.
