Chassagne-Montrachet 'La Goujonne' Rouge, Domaine Hubert Lamy 2023

Est. delivery early 2027 Chassagne-Montrachet is white wine country — everyone knows that — which makes its reds one of Burgundy's quiet pleasures, often overlooked and frequently underpriced relative to the village's reputation. La Goujonne is a lieu-dit on the southern flank of the appellation, and in Lamy's hands it produces a red that has nothing to prove and everything to offer: fine-boned, precise, and threaded through with that particular Chassagne mineral quality that seems to hum underneath the fruit rather than shout above it. The 2023 vintage gave Burgundy generous sunshine without the scorching excess that plagued earlier years, and this shows in the wine's balance — ripe without being heavy, fruit-forward without sacrificing the cool, stony edge that makes village Pinot this interesting.
