The 2023 Si Tu Sais Côte de Nuits Villages "En Chantemerle" is a red Burgundy crafted by Patrick Johnston, known for his meticulous, terroir-driven wines with minimal intervention. Si Tu Sais, meaning "If You Know, You Know," is a rising natural Burgundy producer. This wine displays a bold character, marked by crisp red fruit, notes of licorice, and a touch of pepper. The palate is juicy, supported by silky tannins, and offers impressive density for the vintage and level. Critics have noted plum, white flower, and slight confection aromatics, with some suggesting dark rather than red fruits at this young stage. Made from 100% Pinot Noir, the reds are fermented whole cluster with light extraction, creating elegant, textured wines. The 2023 vintage, with around one-third new oak, shows noticeable yet non-intrusive oak that complements the juicy fruit. While still very young and tight, it is approachable with air and patience, and is expected to evolve beautifully with further cellaring. 【 A rising natural Burgundy producer crafting meticulous, terroir-driven wines with minimal intervention. 】 🍴 Food Pairing: This red Burgundy is an excellent match for duck breast or a savory winter vegetable tart.
