Clos Marey-Monge Chantrerie 2018
-
Behind its intense ruby-purple color, our Chantrerie 2018 hides an aromatic bouquet marked by flowers and black fruits, revealing the feminine side of Pommard. On the palate, the tannins are dense and velvety. Lively and energetic, this exceptional cuvée has a long, mineral finish with saline notes. Generous and undeniably elegant, it will evolve gracefully over the coming decades.

The vines producing our Chantrerie cuvée are some of the oldest of our Clos Marey-Monge. They grow on soils with one of the largest internal surface areas of clay in the Côte d’Or, allowing us to produce a dark, rich and deep Pinot Noir with silky tannins and a mineral finish.
