Vegetable salads, meat or poultry tarts, or simmered beef and vegetables (pot-au-feu). Its natural elegance predisposes him towards veal, cold tabbouleh, or hard cheeses like Gouda. To drink within 3-5 years according to the vintage year.
To the nose it offers at first a basket of small red and black fruits (strawberry, cherry, blackcurrant, and bilberry) later evolving into cooked prune, peppery notes, and notes of animal, underbrush, moss and mushroom. It is lively and structured in the mouth with a well-rounded and supple backbone. Tannins and fruit go hand in hand and the chewiness matches the power of the secondary aromas. This wine has volume and flesh.
Bourgogne rouge comes from the Pinot Noir grape whose name can be traced back as far as 1375 and which gives birth to all the great red wines of Burgundy. It is delicate, highly valued and needs careful looking after during the growing season. The appellation BOURGOGNE ROUGE dates from 1937 and is grown in 299 communes throughout wine-growing Burgundy. The Bourgogne Pinot Noir grows and flourishes near more prestigious crus. These close neighbors are separated by only hundreds or sometimes even as little as tens of meters. The vineyards tend to be located along the foot of the wine-growing slopes on limestone soils mixed with some clays and marls. The soils are stony, rocky even, and quick-draining. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Maturation during 8-10 months in cellar for ageing.
