🏰 The 2020 Prieure Roch Ladoix Le Cloud Rouge is a 【recent addition to the winery's offerings, an easy-drinking wine confident to age well】, and a distinctive expression of Pinot Noir from Burgundy. This 'climat' (plot), formerly known as “Le Clou,” has reverted to its original name, “Le Cloud,” and is a blend of three village lieu-dits: Le Pré de la Folie, La Colombière, and Aux Champs-Perdrix, with relatively young vines planted in the 1980s. The 2020 vintage showcases a lot of ripeness, with notes of pomegranate, Morello cherry, and ripe strawberry, hints of darker fruits, and a deep purplish complexion. It may require an hour or two of air to fully open up, as some initial 'bretty' notes have been observed. 🍴 This red Burgundy pairs well with duck, goose, and other game birds. Its ripe red fruit profile also makes it suitable for veal dishes, roasted poultry, or even a delicate mushroom tart. The wine's structure and fruit concentration can also stand up to lighter red meats. 🥂 This wine is ideal for a relaxed yet sophisticated dinner with friends, a special family meal, or for those exploring the unique, natural winemaking style of Prieure Roch. It's a wine that rewards patience and aeration, making it a good choice for a leisurely evening.
