The 2021 Burgundy vintage was notably challenging, with significant yield reductions across the region due to frost, hail, and mildew. However, for red wines like this Morey Saint Denis Les Millandes 1er Cru from Anne Sigaut, the vintage ultimately delivered quality. Despite a cool and cloudy summer, a providential northerly breeze in September brought sunshine and dry weather, allowing the Pinot Noir grapes to achieve good ripeness. Anne and Hervé Sigaut made the difficult but rewarding decision to reject 30-50% of their harvest, resulting in outstanding wines. Morey-Saint-Denis vineyards, even with lower yields, produced wines with more weight and density than Gevrey, characterized by a plump, round feel, balanced acidity, and supple tannins. This particular wine is described as having a rather meaty, dark, and smoky nose, very much in the Morey style. It offers superb depth of flavor with a backbone of luscious black cherry and blackberry fruit, with some even calling it a 'mini-Clos de La Roche'. Expect notes of ripe cassis, spice, and stems, with a palate where cassis stands out, showing fine concentration. 【A 'mini-Clos de La Roche' with superb depth and classic Morey character】. Food pairing suggestions: This structured Pinot Noir is an excellent match for roasted red meats, game birds like duck and goose, and tournedos. Its earthy and fruity notes also complement mushroom-based dishes beautifully. Event suggestions: Suitable to drink now or to hold for further aging, this wine is perfect for a special dinner, a gathering of discerning wine enthusiasts, or as a significant addition to a cellar.
