🏰 The 2022 vintage for Burgundy is proving to be excellent, with a successful harvest after three consecutive years of low-quantity vintages. A hot and dry summer produced silky, red-fruit Pinot, with a fresher and lighter style than expected, resulting in super-charming and forthcoming wines. The reds are joyous, fresh, and vibrant, with ripe yet crunchy fruit, incredibly fine but present tannin structure, and moderate alcohols. 【From Burgundy's excellent 2022 vintage, the Forey Pere & Fils Clos Vougeot Grand Cru is a joyous Pinot Noir, offering intense red fruit, a suave bouquet of floral and earthy notes, and a masterful, rich palate that promises exceptional aging potential.】 Clos de Vougeot wines typically display a very intense color, ranging from strawberry red to deep garnet. They offer a suave bouquet, redolent of springtime with blown roses at dawn, violets in the morning dew, and moist mignonette, complemented by notes of blackberries, raspberry, wild mint, liquorice, and truffle. On the palate, the taste is masterful, rich, succulent, and mellow, combining elegance and delicacy with meaty fullness, leading to a long finish and exceptional aging potential. 🍴 This noble wine demands to be matched with equally rich, smooth, opulent, and complex food. Ideal pairings include roasted or sauced red meat dishes, roast pheasant, wild boar, roast venison, capon, and ripe cheeses such as Camembert. Consider musky and marbled meats like forerib of beef, braised lamb, roast veal with mushrooms, or a fine game-bird. Soft-centred cheeses such as Époisses, Langres, Soumaintrain, Saint-Florentin, and Cîteaux are also excellent choices. 🥂 This wine is suitable for grand dinners and special occasions, offering long aging potential of 10 to 30 years or even more. It's a fantastic choice for those looking to cellar a superb Burgundy or to enjoy a youthful, vibrant expression of a Grand Cru.
