Domaine Bouzereau Gruère & FillesChassagne-Montrachet rouge 2023

About this wine

This Chassagne-Montrachet rouge from Domaine Bouzereau Gruère & Filles is exactly what you need when you want something elegant but not pretentious. It's a wine that shows the true character of Burgundy's pinot noir, without any fuss or unnecessary complexity.

On the nose, you'll find red berries and a hint of earth. The palate is clean and balanced, with soft tannins that make it approachable right now. There's a nice freshness to it, typical of the vintage, with just enough structure to keep things interesting without overwhelming your meal.

Serve this slightly cool, around 14-15 degrees Celsius. It pairs beautifully with classic Burgundian dishes like coq au vin or beef with mushrooms. It also works wonderfully with roasted chicken or lighter meat preparations. If you're thinking about keeping a bottle or two in your cellar, it'll drink nicely over the next five to seven years, developing more nuance as it ages.
