🏰 Bruno Clair's Marsannay Les Longeroies 2013 is a fine example of Pinot Noir from the northernmost appellation of Burgundy's Côte de Nuits. The 2013 vintage in Burgundy was generally considered challenging due to variable weather, but skilled producers like Bruno Clair managed to craft elegant and balanced wines. This particular vineyard, 'Les Longeroies,' is known for combining Burgundian finesse with fruit-forward accessibility. The wine is praised for its lovely and complete profile, featuring raspberry and liquorice fruit, richness, and an elegant finish. 【 A testament to Bruno Clair's skill in a challenging vintage, offering both elegance and fruit expression 】. 🍴 This savory and classic red Burgundy pairs wonderfully with a range of dishes. It's an excellent match for duck, goose, and game birds. Other suggestions include pan-seared duck breast, Coq au Vin, grilled salmon, mushroom risotto, or aged Comté cheese. Its freshness and fine tannin structure also make it suitable for lamb rack with herb crust or roasted pigeon. For an Eastern pairing, consider it with a delicate Japanese teriyaki chicken or a subtly spiced Korean duck stew. 🥂 Ideal for a sophisticated dinner party, a special occasion celebrating Burgundian elegance, or a cozy evening enjoying a well-crafted Pinot Noir. Its balanced nature makes it enjoyable now, but it also has the potential to age for 5-6 years.
