Bader-Mimeur Chassagne-Montrachet 'Chateau de Chassagne-Montrachet' Rouge, Cote de Beaune, France 2018

Description

The 2018 Bader-Mimeur Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge Château de Chassagne-Montrachet is a generous, polished village Burgundy shaped by a warm, ripe vintage. The nose is immediately expressive, showing ripe cherry and raspberry layered with subtle floral notes, soft spice, and a hint of earthy minerality.

On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with a supple, rounded texture and fine, well-integrated tannins. Compared to cooler vintages, the fruit profile is richer and more open, yet balanced by enough acidity to keep the wine fresh and composed. The finish is smooth and gently savory. This is a confident, approachable Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge that’s drinking well now, offering pleasure and finesse without needing extended cellaring.
