🏰news | features + short tasting note IN ENGLISH 【A compelling peppermint and star anis-tinged bouquet that comes racing out of the blocks and begs you to love it.】 The 2012 vintage in Burgundy, despite capricious spring frosts and a tempestuous summer, yielded wines of profound complexity and depth. Domaine Comte de Vogue's Bonnes-Mares vines, located on the Chambolle side with red clay soils, produce velvety-textured, rounder wines with characteristic aromas of violets and wildflowers. This Grand Cru presents a bright ruby crimson color. Beyond the initial peppermint and star anis, the bouquet offers ebullient raspberry and pomegranate notes, minerals, dried flowers, violets, licorice, cloves, tar, and dark blue and black-toned fruit. The palate is very well balanced with pure black fruit interlaced with mint and spices, a dash of black pepper, and a gentle grip. It is explosive and utterly captivating, showcasing dark raspberry, cherry, and spice flavors with a medicinal reserve and a touch of wildness. Expect a dense, sappy back end with substantial ripe tannins and strong saline minerality. 🍴 Chinese Cantonese food pairing various types of suggestion east or west corresponding to wine cost IN ENGLISH This elegant Pinot Noir pairs beautifully with classic Cantonese roast duck or goose, enhancing the wine's fruit and spice notes. For Western cuisine, consider game birds like pheasant or quail, or a delicate mushroom risotto. 🥂 fit for event suggestion IN ENGLISH This is a very backward, powerful wine that will need a long time to fully express itself, making it ideal for a patient collector's cellar.
