Chassagne-Montrachet is best known for its whites, but its village-level reds deserve far more attention than they typically receive, especially in a vintage like 2022 when the warm, dry summer gave the Pinot Noir exceptional ripeness and color. Potel’s Roche de Bellene Villages bottling draws from old-vine parcels on the limestone and marl soils of the village, where the same rocky substructure that gives the Grand Cru whites their mineral precision lends the reds a lovely chalky backbone and aromatic lift. The result is a Pinot Noir of medium weight and elegant proportion: fresh red cherry, cranberry, dried herbs, and a savory, earthy edge, all held together by bright acidity and silky tannins that make it genuinely versatile at the table. A smart, well-priced village Burgundy from a great vintage and a beloved address.
