Tasting
Aroma intense, concentrated, structured, and long. Aromas and flavors of black cherry liqueur, minerals, and herbs. While young, the wine's aroma suggests a spring garden with small red fruits (raspberry, strawberry) and black fruits (blackcurrant, blackberry).
Palate Dense and austere when young. powerful and tautly muscular flavors that coat the palate with sappy dry extract.
Finish long
Food Pairing Red Burgundy might be the world’s most flexible food wine. The wine’s high acidity, medium body, medium alcohol, and low tannins make it very food-friendly. Red Burgundy, with its earthy and sometimes gamey character, is a classic partner to roasted game birds, grilled duck breast, and dishes that feature mushrooms, black truffles, or are rich in umami.
Aging Potential peak in complexity and flavor after about a decade, some of the best rewards in cellaring among Côte de Beaune reds
