2022 Bachey Legros Maranges Vieilles Vignes
By now, you may recognize Domaine Bachey Legros’ name and label. I’ve made a couple offers and have introduced a number of you to his absolutely stunning Chassagne Montrachet 1er Morgeot - les Petits Clos.
Today, I want to introduce you to an outstanding red in their line up. Last year while in Burgundy, I had the pleasure of spending a couple of hours with Samuel Legros tasting a number of their red wines, but the one that really stood out for me was the 2022 Maranges Vieilles Vignes.
It clearly showed off its sunny disposition as the blackberry and dark fruited flavors absolutely soared from the glass. The wine had depth and concentration but above all there was beautiful balance. It was a wine I needed to have, so I placed a call to the importer when I got home but they didn’t have it yet. I think I asked him about the wine every time I saw him!
He finally called me and said the wine had arrived in New York. To my surprise, I was able to negotiate an additional 10% off by buying all he had - thus I am able to offer this wine at under $40. This price is a ridiculous value, in no small part due to the lack of reviews by US critics.
These wines flying under the radar are the kind that get me the most excited these days. At $39, this comes with my 100% Money Back Guarantee! Don’t over think this one!
