Domaine Roger Belland Chassagne-Montrachet Clos Pitois Morgeot 1er Cru 2021, 0,75 L

Burgundy enthusiasts rejoice at wines like this. The connoisseurs' circle centres around select wine-growing regions, with certain vineyards holding an almost mythical status. Chassagne-Montrachet ranks prominently among these, consistently delivering wines of exceptional repute in the global market.

Roger Belland's ownership of the monopole "Clos Pitois Morgeot" adds further allure to the estate's offerings.

Though the 2021 vintage is youthful, its promise is already evident.

This Pinot Noir captivates with a delicate, shimmering brick-red hue that beckons from the glass. The nose reveals a dense bouquet of wild berries, and abundant strawberry notes intertwined with hints of vanilla and toasty oak from barrique aging. It unfolds as a wine of intricate complexity and layers, each nuance delicate and refined—an invitation to savour every aroma.

On the palate, it asserts itself with vigour and intensity, yet maintains its fragile nature with myriad subtle flavours that unfold slowly. Bold berry tones, underscored by the persistence of vanilla and toasted oak, showcase powerful yet impeccably ripe tannins. Impeccable balance prevails, with sweetness, acidity, tannin, and fruit melding seamlessly into a harmonious, enduring finish.

This Burgundy demands decanting in a generous glass to fully appreciate its splendour—a remarkable example of Burgundy excellence at a remarkably fair price.
