Vintage Character The Domaine Darviot-Perrin Chassagne Montrachet 'Les Bondues' Premier Cru 2017 is a rare red expression from an appellation globally celebrated for its white wines. The 2017 vintage in Burgundy was highly successful, characterized by a warm spring and a dry summer that facilitated optimal berry ripening and yielded wines of remarkable purity and structural balance. Sourced from a tiny 0.45-hectare parcel of old vines planted in 1950 and 1968, the 'Les Bondues' climat features clay-rich limestone soils that impart a distinctive, robust structure and earthy depth to this exceptional Pinot Noir.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing On the nose, this Pinot Noir offers a vibrant bouquet of bright red cherry, wild raspberry, and subtle violet notes, complemented by secondary layers of baking spices, clove, and damp forest floor. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins, medium-high acidity, and a lingering, elegant finish marked by mineral undercurrents. This structured red pairs beautifully with roasted duck breast in cherry reduction, pan-seared veal chops, or a rich wild mushroom risotto.
