Best Ever 2023's from Bodega Chacra

by Hugh French | Aug 14, 2024

 

 

"In terms of the character of the vintage, I think it reminds me a little of 2010 and 2013 in terms of this electric vibrancy of the profile of the wines. I find the wines to be electric, I find them to be very zingy, I find them to be fruit forward but not overly fruity. I think it's a smaller vintage ... but I think it's a very, very good vintage."

Piero Incisa della Rocchetta, Bodega Chacra

 

Bodega Chacra

Chacra was founded in 2003 by Piero Incisa della Rocchetta.

At a wine tasting in New York City, Piero discovered a pinot noir that brought his attention to the Río Negro region of Patagonia, Argentina.

 

After his first visit, he knew this would be the home of his new passion.

The quest for a unique terroir was over: with ungrafted vines dating back to 1932, planted by massale selection, with grapes of immense quality, vibrant luminosity, pure water, strong winds, Mainqué village in Rio Negro had the potential to make the wines of which he dreamed. Here, Piero could make wines that could truly convey the taste of “a place on the planet.”

 

Later, what began as a conversation between friends, has turned into a partnership with esteemed Burgundian Chardonnay producer Jean-Marc Roulot. Joining Piero in Patagonia, Jean-Marc offers his extensive expertise in planting, farming, and vinification of Chardonnay at Chacra. This newest chapter in Chacra’s story is more than just an expansion of a winery or the production of new wines, it is a story of a friendship.

2022 Treinta y Dos Pinot Noir

Special Offer $239

"A beautiful, nervy pinot here. Such purity and depth on the nose for a pinot that barely has any extraction. Tile, flowers, minerals and racy crushed raspberries and wild strawberries. Tense and pretty on the palate with incredible vibrancy and verve. Naturally structured. Long and really refined. So subtle, yet it lasts almost two minutes. Full of fruit. A step up from 2021. Around 50% whole bunch."
