🏰 The 2014 Lucien Le Moine Corton Renardes Grand Cru is a powerful and elegant Pinot Noir from a "classic" Burgundy vintage, offering both immediate enjoyment and significant aging potential, with critics like Stephen Tanzer and Neal Martin giving it high praise. The 2014 Burgundy vintage, though starting difficultly with hailstorms affecting Côte de Beaune, ultimately produced a good vintage, especially for reds from Côte de Nuits. These reds are noted for their freshness, balance, and vibrant energy, considered by some to be the "epitome of red Burgundy". Expect aromas of ripe raspberries, candied cherry, forest floor, and well-integrated oak, leading to a palate with fresh acidity, good concentration, and firm, elegant tannins. It's still developing, showing primary notes, but is drinking perfectly now with potential for another 8-10 years of aging. 🍴 This exquisite red Burgundy pairs beautifully with finely prepared roasted or stewed red meats like beef and game, including duck and goose. It also complements dishes cooked in wine and a selection of medium to mature cheeses. Consider confit beef cheek or roasted duck breast for a truly harmonious experience. 🥂 Perfect for a special occasion, a sophisticated dinner party, or as a prized addition to your cellar for future enjoyment, as you'll "never regret opening a bottle of 2014". Serve this wine between 16-17°C (60-62°F). It has a long aging potential of 7 to 10 years and even more.
