PYCM Chassagne Montrachet La Boudriotte ROUGE 2023

ABOUT THE VINEYARD: “La Boudriotte is a small Premier Cru vineyard site of the Chassagne-Montrachet appellation in Burgundy. Located just southeast of Chassagne-Montrachet village, this gently sloping, eastfacing vineyard may produce red wines from Pinot Noir and white wines from Chardonnay. La Boudriotte lies within the grounds of Morgeot Abbey and is one of over 20 subdivisions of the more famous, 58 hectare (143 acre) Morgeot Premier Cru. Its wines are more often labeled with the latter designation – as is permitted under the appellation laws.” - WINE-SEARCHER.COM

CRITICAL ACCLAIM:

“One plot is in Boudriotte itself and one in Fairendes, vinified together. The Fairendes component is older with very small grapes, so this was vinified as whole bunches, added into the fermentation vat in layers alternating with the destemmed fruit. A deeper more robust purple, a clear heady raspberry fruit, still with lees in suspension, and a tannin or two.” - 90-93 PTS, JASPER MORRIS, MW, INSIDE BURGUNDY (BARREL SAMPLE)
