🏰The Simon Bize Latricieres-Chambertin Grand Cru 2021 is a rare and refined expression of Pinot Noir from one of 布根地 (Burgundy)'s most revered Grand Cru vineyards, known for its exceptional finesse and aging potential. The 2021 vintage in 布根地 (Burgundy) is characterized by freshness and length over opulence. Simon Bize is a historic winery, with vines planted in their 0.33-hectare plot in 1961, 1971, and 1981, on poor, shallow marl-limestone soil next to Chambertin Grand Cru. They use sustainable viticulture, no herbicides or pesticides, and very little to no new oak for aging their reds to preserve the typical aromas of delicate Pinot Noir. It displays a deep but translucent ruby-red color. The bouquet is precise, gradually opening with aromas of wild raspberry, red cherry, cranberry, violet, rose petal, fine spices, undergrowth, and a discreet graphite and mineral touch, with hints of orange zest and forest floor. The palate is supple yet focused, with a linear, saline backbone, juicy red fruit, delicate tannins, and a refined texture. The finish is long, tension-filled, and marked by chalky minerality, showcasing a beautiful balance between elegance and depth. 🍴 Pairs beautifully with delicate game, roast white meats, braised dishes, duck, goose, game birds, and stinky cheeses. 🥂 A Grand Cru for special occasions, significant celebrations, or for serious collectors to cellar and enjoy its evolution over many years. It's dressed to impress and flexes well with food.
