In the Glass — Tasting Notes

Bramble and red cherry open the palate, unfolding into layers of substance with ripe tannins that feel resolved rather than aggressive. The finish is genuinely savoury, underpinned by delicate acidity that keeps this Pinot Noir poised and elegant. A wine that rewards immediately without demanding ceremony.

The Winery — Domaine Chevrot

Maranges, nestled at the southern edge of the Côte de Beaune, is gaining justified attention for quality-to-value wines. Domaine Chevrot is widely regarded as one of its leading producers. Brothers Pablo and Vincent took over in 2007 following experience in Bordeaux and New Zealand, inheriting a 19-hectare estate which they now farm organically. Their approach has been methodical: horse-drawn ploughing, careful sorting, and minimal cellar intervention. For the 2022 vintage, whole bunches remained unstemmed for 30%, wild yeast drove fermentation, and the wine spent just 18 months in barrel—only 15% new oak—preserving the elegant restraint that defines this Pinot Noir. No added sulphites. The steep, south-facing terrace of limestone and granite, with the Cozanne river nearby creating sharp day-night temperature swings, concentrates flavour while preserving freshness.

At Your Table — Food Pairing & Serving

At 13% alcohol and naturally corked, this is wine for roasted chicken, braised duck, soft cheeses (Brie, Camembert, Gruyère), and charcuterie boards. It excels with mushroom and truffle dishes, game, venison, stews, and beef—making it perfect for Sunday lunch or an intimate date night. One of the finest Burgundy values we've sourced from France this year, it sits alongside our Beaune selection as proof that the region's best value lives beyond the famous appellations.
