Vintage Character Domaine Sylvain Langoureau’s Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge “Les Voillenots Dessous” 2024 is a village-level Burgundy Pinot Noir that highlights the less-seen red-wine side of Chassagne with clarity and restraint rather than weight. The 2024 growing season in Burgundy was widely described as challenging, with frequent rainfall and high disease pressure that tended to reduce yields and emphasize brighter acidity and a more fine-boned feel.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Aromas lean toward red cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry, lifted by a floral violet note and a whisper of sweet spice; on the palate it stays medium-bodied with medium tannins, medium-high acidity, and a silky, gently shaped texture, finishing with subtle earth and underbrush nuance. Pair it with roast chicken, duck breast with cherries, mushroom risotto, or pork tenderloin; for cheese, try Brie or a mild, creamy triple-cream.
Winery Background Based in Chassagne-Montrachet in the Côte de Beaune, Domaine Sylvain Langoureau is a family estate focused on expressing site through measured extraction and élevage that prioritise perfume, freshness, and line. The bottling’s lieu-dit name points to a specific parcel within Chassagne (“Dessous” meaning the lower section), reinforcing the domaine’s parcel-minded approach and its aim to let Pinot Noir reflect origin through balance, detail, and drinkability rather than overt oak or sheer power.
