Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge, Les Benoites 2022, Vincent Bachelet

In Chassagne-Montrachet, a major shift to Chardonnay took place in the 1980s to meet the demand for white Burgundy, resulting in the replacement of many Pinot Noir vines. However, the remaining Pinot Noir vines were carefully preserved and still produce the fruit used for generations to make the best red Chassagne-Montrachets. It is a testament to the enduring quality of these vines and the dedication of the winemakers who recognize their value. The landscape may have changed, but the commitment to making exceptional wines remains unchanged.
