From the Premier Cru site Champs de Morgeot in Chassagne-Montrachet, the 2023 Domaine Lamy-Pillot Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge presents a poised Pinot Noir expression of red Burgundy. Bright red fruit with a mineral spine, restrained oak, and balanced acidity give it structure and approachability. Oak adds subtle spice and toast without overpowering. A versatile choice for roasted poultry, mushrooms, or salmon with nuance.
