The 2021 Marthe Henry Boillot Bourgogne Saint Martin (Rouge) is a dry red Pinot Noir from Burgundy, known for its fresh and elegant profile. Marthe Henry Boillot, granddaughter of a prominent Meursault figure, transitioned from journalism to winemaking, establishing her négociant business in 2017. She is celebrated for producing energetic yet charming wines with precision and authenticity. The 2021 vintage was challenging, with Marthe needing to search for grapes due to unavailable contracts, resulting in lower volumes. 【Energetic yet charming wines with precision and authenticity】.
Tasting notes describe a clear ruby red color with medium intensity. The nose offers distinct aromas of cherry and raspberry, followed by delicate spices and light earthy undertones. On the palate, it presents a fresh entry with lively acidity, a balanced body, and a fine, silky tannic texture. The progression is linear with well-defined fruit and returning spicy notes, leading to a long, harmonious finish. Some reviewers have noted a promising nose that, with air, reveals crisp red fruits like raspberry and red currant, along with herbal notes and a touch of spice.
Food pairings include red meats that are not too fatty, roast or grilled preparations, and aged cheeses. It also suits cured meats and flavorful white meats like rabbit or guinea fowl. For a regional touch, it pairs well with Boeuf Bourguignon or Coq au Vin.
This wine is ideal for intermediate seasons and winter, perfect for complementing structured dishes with balance. It's enjoyable when young for its freshness but can also age in the cellar for 5-8 years, gaining complexity. Serve at 14–16 °C in a large glass, with brief decanting to enhance its spicy notes and fruit definition.
