Domaine Bader-Mimeur, Château De Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge 2014

The Côte de Beaune appellation of Chassagne is regarded as producing some of the finest white wine in the world. So it’s surprising that 50% of Chassagne Montrachet is planted with Pinot Noir. Few producers make red wine here, and given its lesser-known existence, they can offer fantastic value for money. Domaine Bader-Mimeur brings us one such wine. The family bought the historical vineyard of Château de Chassagne-Montrachet in 1919 and have been pioneering first-class Pinot Noir ever since. The 2015 vintage saw a very dry and sunny summer, resulting in grapes full of concentrated flavour. And since vines are between 50 to 75 years old, you can expect a deliciously complex wine. Discover notes of ripe red fruits including raspberry and Kirsch cherry, earthy savoury notes and peppery spice. Stored correctly, this will continue to develop until 2030. If you choose to enjoy it now, a winter stew will make a perfect pairing.
