The 2018 Morgeot Rouge from Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard opens with vibrant aromas of ripe red cherries, wild berries, and a touch of warm spice. The palate is silky yet structured, with refined tannins and a lovely balance of fruit and earthiness. Subtle oak aging adds hints of vanilla and a gentle smokiness, leading to a long, polished finish.
A refined and age-worthy red that drinks beautifully now but will continue to evolve over time. A perfect match for roasted meats, game, or earthy mushroom dishes.
Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard's excellent reputation is based upon the especially high quality of its white wines. However, they also produce very lovely reds which are not only beautifully pure expressions of Pinot Noir but are also very attractively priced.

What the critics say:
"The 2018 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot Rouge is showing nicely, unwinding to reveal notes of cherries, licorice and sweet soil tones. Medium to full-bodied, succulent and nicely concentrated, this is a chewy, characterful red Morgeot from old vines planted just below Ramonet's Clos de la Boudriotte."
"The expressive and ripe nose is quite similar to that of the Clos St. Jean but with more earth and a hint of pepper influence. The sleek and nicely vibrant medium-bodied flavors possess better power if slightly less refinement on the solidly complex and lingering finish."
