In the Glass — Tasting Notes

A beautifully framed Pinot Noir built on blackberry and black cherry, lifted by mineral spine and gravel-driven freshness. The palate concentrates dark fruit with structured tannins and mouthwatering acidity, finishing clean and lingering. Spice threads through, with modest oak influence preserved by careful winemaking—this is a wine that speaks of place and craft.

The Winery — Domaine Chevrot

Brothers Pablo and Vincent took the estate in 2007 after gaining experience in Bordeaux and Central Otago, and have become leading voices in Maranges, the southern Côte de Beaune. They farm organically with draft horses and hand-sort every harvest. For this 2022 vintage, they employed 20% whole-bunch fermentation with native yeasts and aged in 30% new barrels for 16 months, preserving aromatic freshness across their replanted La Fussière plot at 375 metres on steep limestone.

At Your Table — Food Pairing & Serving

This wine pairs brilliantly with roasted chicken, mushrooms, braised beef, game, and aged goat and soft cheeses. Drink it beautifully now at 14–16°C, or cellar it for five to seven years—the acidity and structure will evolve gracefully. If you're looking to explore beyond household names, this medium bodied red wine from the Chevrot brothers deserves a place on your table.
