Description
A village with ancient origins. Its name is derived from the Celtic word "cassanos", meaning "planted with oak trees". The appellation is planted with both Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
Lately, a lot of Chardonnay has been planted so that red Chassagne is actually becoming rare!
Tasting
"Vivid red colour. Intense and complex aromas, reminiscent of candied fruit or fruit jelly, raspberry, blackberry, and a light woody touch. As the wine ages, these aromas evolve towards subtle notes of mushroom and spices, such as nutmeg. When the wine is younger, the flavors highlight a nice framework marked by fine tannins. Long and persistent in the aftertaste, with lingering notes of candy and spice".
Tasting note by Véronique Boss-Drouhin
