🏰 The 2021 Joseph Roty Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Prieur Bas is a serious and compact effort, noted for its 【depth and persistence, punching at Premier Cru quality】 and fitting its terroir like a glove. This mid-purple red Burgundy offers a vivacious bouquet of perfumed redcurrant and cranberry fruit, quite floral, with brooding and earthier notes of red and dark berries, violet, herbal tea, and wood. The medium-bodied palate features grainy tannins, citrus-fresh orange rind, and hints of white pepper, fanning out wonderfully on the finish. It boasts good volume and richness, with lovely intensity and a balanced, firmly structured, and persistent finish. 🍴 This elegant Pinot Noir is an excellent pairing for veal, game (deer, venison), roasted duck, or coq au vin. It also complements mushroom-based dishes and medium-aged cheeses beautifully. 🥂 Ideal for a special dinner or a gathering of Burgundy enthusiasts. This wine is built for aging and will need patience, with an optimal drinking window suggested from 2027-2033. It will benefit from several years in the cellar to fully integrate its new wood and develop its complexities.
