Lucien Muzard & Fils Bourgogne Rouge 2023

Delightful classic pinot noir, balancing elegance and finesse with a light structure and fresh nuances.

On the nose, you encounter red berries like cherries and raspberries, combined with subtle notes of violets and a discreet spicy undertone. The taste is fresh and lively with a silky texture, where the red berries are accompanied by a light mineral character and a hint of vanilla from aging. The wine appears both harmonious and easily accessible, with a medium body and a pleasant finish.

The grapes for this wine are hand-harvested and come from vineyards located below the Maranges hill, on the border between Santenay and Chassagne-Montrachet. The soil consists of clay, chalk, and silt, which give the wine its fine structure. During vinification, 30% whole clusters are used, and the yeast is exclusively natural. The must undergoes a gentle maceration with light pigeage, after which the wine is aged for 15-20 months in Burgundy oak barrels, 15-20% of which are new. Part of the cuvée is also matured in steel tanks to preserve freshness.

This wine is ideal for dishes such as grilled poultry, mushroom risotto, or a classic boeuf bourguignon.

Best served at 14-15°C. A lovely fresh and balanced wine with plenty of red berries in both aroma and taste, which can be enjoyed well at a young age.
