🏰 【A rare red Pinot Noir from the legendary Coche-Dury, offering a structured and concentrated expression of Monthelie with excellent aging potential.】 While Coche-Dury is renowned for its white Burgundies, their red Monthelie from Pinot Noir is a highly regarded and sought-after gem. The 2016 vintage in Burgundy was challenging, but ultimately produced charming and potentially long-lived reds, characterized by bright, expressive fruit and excellent acidity. This wine is noted for its deep and primary bouquet, revealing dark berries, bitter chocolate, venison, chalky soil tones, and a spicy topnote. On the palate, it's full-bodied with a sappy core, ripe, firm tannins, and a long, powerful finish. 🍴 This elegant Pinot Noir is a classic match for game birds such as duck and goose. It would also complement roasted chicken, mushroom-based dishes, or mild, earthy cheeses. 🥂 This Monthelie is an excellent choice for a special dinner or a gathering of Burgundy enthusiasts. It requires some cellaring time to truly shine, promising to be excellent with patience.
