With their dense, clay-based soils, Chassagne’s lower lying climats are ideally suited to reds. This wine comes from a parcel of vines planted in the 1960s, a 1.06-hectare plot in the middle of the village. Again, Olivier worked with roughly 50% whole bunches, raised the cuvée in used barrels and did not sulphur the wines until bottling. Olivier Lamy’s reds are getting more precise and offering more finesse; this is a terrific example.
