🏰 【An extraordinary entry-level Burgundy, the 2017 Arnoux Lachaux Bourgogne Pinot Fin is celebrated for its weightlessly graceful character and a transporting bouquet of musk, gunpowder, violets, and forest floor.】 The 2017 Burgundy vintage was generally very good, offering fresh, transparent, juicy, and gourmand reds with perfect balance and a classic Pinot Noir profile. This Pinot Fin, a specific clone of Pinot Noir, presents an elegant and very pure nose reflecting soft floral and earth nuances on primarily red berry fruit aromas. On the palate, it offers medium+ intensity with notes of red and black fruits, strawberry, supported by medium+ acidity and medium, silky tannins. While the palate might be somewhat short, the acidity is fine-beaded, contributing to a lovely mouthfeel. This wine is drinking beautifully now and is likely just beginning its drinking window, with potential for further aging to develop complex fruit concentration. 🍴 This elegant red Burgundy is versatile, pairing well with light red meats like roasted chicken or duck, mushroom-based dishes, charcuterie, or even grilled salmon. Its earthy and floral notes would also complement dishes with herbs like thyme or rosemary. 🥂 Ideal for a sophisticated weeknight dinner, a gathering with friends, or as an introduction to the quality of Arnoux Lachaux. It benefits from 3+ hours of air to become more complete. Serve at a cool cellar temperature, around 14-16°C.
