Better known for its white wines, the village of Chassagne-Montrachet is also the source of very good red Burgundy, particularly from the likes of Domaine Ramonet. This particular example, from leading grower Domaine Blain-Gagnard, is an honest, relatively uncomplicated red Burgundy that is in the slot for current drinking.
It offers up typical notes of red fruits, earth and spice in an attractive, silky package. It is drinking well now and should develop secondary complexity over the next few years.
