Bright ruby with a translucent edge, this Pinot Noir is a study in quiet confidence. Aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry, and rose petal mingle with subtle notes of spice, earth, and fine oak. The palate is graceful yet vibrant with pure red fruit gliding over silky tannins, lifted by bright acidity and a whisper of minerality. It’s delicate, detailed, and effortlessly drinkable, finishing long with a touch of savoury charm.

For when: the food’s simple, the company’s good, and the wine does the talking.
Pairs with: roast duck, charcuterie, or wild mushroom risotto.
If this wine were a voice, it’d speak softly, but everyone would listen.

From the ever-meticulous Olivier Lamy, this Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge comes from 50-year-old vines in La Goujonne, a site known for its fine red clay and limestone soils. Low yields, whole-bunch fermentation, and gentle oak ageing preserve the purity and perfume of the fruit, resulting in a wine that bridges grace and structure in true Lamy fashion.

About the 2023 Vintage in Burgundy:
2023 will be remembered as a season of balance and generosity. After a mild winter and an early budbreak, the year’s warmth was moderated by well-timed rain, allowing fruit to ripen evenly without excess. The reds show vivid colour, supple tannins, and beautifully fresh acidity, capturing the essence of modern Burgundy: approachable yet structured, aromatic yet precise. For many growers, it’s a vintage that bridges immediacy and longevity which is a rare combination that makes 2023 an instant classic.
