This Pinot Noir comes from Chassagne Montrachet, a village better known for white wines.
While the area is dominated by Chardonnay, certain sites also produce red wines with a slightly broader profile. Domaine Coffinet-Duvernay is a family estate based in the village, working with traditional Burgundian methods.
In the glass, it shows red fruit such as raspberry and cherry, with darker tones underneath. There is a light spice note and a mineral edge that keeps the wine focused.
The structure sits between light and firm.
At the table, it aligns with dishes that carry more depth. Roasted preparations, mushrooms, and savory plates tend to bring out its balance. It has more presence than lighter Pinot Noir, but it does not overwhelm.
At CARTA, it often sits between the lighter and fuller reds on the list.
