The 2023 Koji et Jae Hwa Bourgogne Pinot Noir Vieilles Vignes (Rouge) is a red wine from 布根地 (Burgundy), France, crafted from Pinot Noir grapes sourced from old vines, some planted as early as 1908. The 2023 vintage is characterized as fresh and classic, with the old vines contributing extra depth and structure. It presents a transparent, fragrant profile with notes of red cherry, raspberry, rose petals, and subtle spice. On the palate, it is supple and finely balanced, carrying bright red fruit over vibrant acidity, with fine, powdery tannins providing quiet structure. The old-vine concentration brings depth without heaviness, leading to a fresh and composed finish with cherry, floral perfume, and a gentle mineral-savory note. Reviewers note a fantastic nose with rich and deep fruitiness, including dark and red berries like ripe cherries and blackberries, along with floral elegance. It's surprisingly accessible now but has good potential for cellaring. 【 This wine is a highly-rated, almost cult project by Japanese Koji Nakada and his Korean wife Jae Hwa Park, focusing on minimal intervention to highlight the natural elegance of Burgundian Pinot Noir. 】 Food pairing suggestions include chicken and turkey. Its elegant red fruit and subtle spice would also pair well with roasted duck, mushroom risotto, or lighter charcuterie boards. This wine is perfect for a celebratory dinner, a gathering with friends, or as a thoughtful gift for a wine enthusiast. Its accessibility now and potential for aging make it versatile for various occasions.
