ready-improve2016 Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge, Morgeot 1er Cru, Maison Caroline Lestimé

In the same deal as the village Chassagne, Caroline buys back the vineyard owner’s share of the fruit, having worked and harvested the vines herself. Once again just one barrel was made with a yield of 15hl/ha. There is dense red cherry fruit here, and more complexity than the village wine, thanks to a chalky, stony structure which prolongs the finish. Concentrated and serious, this is a match for many Côte de Nuits reds. Drink 2020-2025.
