Chateau de Masse - Beaune Epenottes 2022 - 76$

$456.00

Case of 6 / Price per Bottle: 76 $.

The 2022 Château de Masse Beaune ‘Les Épenottes’ is a finely crafted Beaune Cru Pinot Noir from a small, meticulous estate based in Corcelles-les-Arts, with vineyards extending into prime parcels of Beaune, Pommard, and Meursault. Les Épenottes, located on the border with Pommard, is known for producing wines with a structure and depth reminiscent of its prestigious neighbor, while retaining the more supple elegance of Beaune. The 2022 vintage, marked by a warm yet balanced growing season in Burgundy, has given this wine ripe red and black fruit character—think cherry, raspberry, and a hint of blackcurrant—layered with floral notes, subtle spice, and a refined mineral core. Gentle oak integration adds a touch of vanilla and toast, framing the wine’s naturally silky texture.

On the palate, the wine shows a harmonious interplay between richness and finesse. The tannins are fine-grained yet firm enough to give the wine structure for medium-term aging, while the acidity keeps it vibrant and food-friendly. Its savory undertones and mineral freshness make it a versatile partner for dishes such as duck breast with cherry glaze, roasted game birds, or earthy mushroom risotto. This is a wine that reflects both its terroir and vintage with precision—offering an expressive and elegant Burgundy experience that bridges Beaune’s charm with Pommard’s power.
