Charles Noellat, Morey Saint Denis Les Chaffots 1er Cru, 2013
🏰The 2013 vintage in Burgundy was inconsistent, yet some good wines were produced, with the best reds often coming from top estates in the Côte d'Or. This Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru, likely a Pinot Noir, offers a profile of ripe, sweet, and punchy fruit balanced by fresh acidity and fine tannins, showcasing a true 'terroir' expression. Expect a wine with good weight and intensity, reflecting the concentrated small berries of the vintage. While some 2012s (a comparable vintage in terms of quality and concentration) still show a little tannin, they generally possess a great sense of energy.
🍴 Chinese Cantonese food pairing: This elegant red Burgundy would be superb with Cantonese-style roasted pigeon (乳鴿), pan-fried lamb chops with rosemary, or a delicate mushroom and truffle risotto. For a more local touch, try it with braised beef brisket in clear broth (清湯牛腩) or even a refined dim sum selection featuring char siu bao (叉燒包) and siu mai (燒賣).
🥂 fit for event suggestion: Perfect for a sophisticated dinner party or a special anniversary celebration, especially for Burgundy lovers. It's also a fantastic choice for a quiet evening to appreciate a nuanced and evolving wine.
