Assemblage et vinification

This wine is made from Pinot Noir of the vendange 2023 within the appellation Bourgogne AOC. Domaine Henri Boillot adopts a vinification approach that respects the natural finesse of the variety and prioritises fruit expression. Carefully selected berries deliver a pure material, with restrained extraction to preserve the delicacy of the tannins and the wine's intrinsic freshness. Fermentation and ageing are managed precisely to retain aromatic purity, drive and the digestibility characteristic of a contemporary Bourgogne. The result, highly lucid, combines immediate pleasure with gustatory structure, offering a faithful reading of Pinot Noir at its most subtle.

Notes de dégustation

• Appearance : Bright ruby red with translucent highlights, a sign of gentle extraction and a search for balance.
• Nose : A nuanced bouquet of strawberry, raspberry and cherry, lifted by a hint of peony and soft spice. The overall impression is precise, with a sense of purity and momentum.
• Palate : Soft attack, juicy and dynamic mid-palate. The texture, softly framed, reveals fine tannins and a salivating length. Red fruit unfolds, driven by measured acidity that stretches the finish and signs a persistent, refined and easy-to-enjoy return.

Température de service et conseils

Serve between 16–17°C to preserve fruit freshness and delicate texture. A light decant or brief aeration before serving helps open the bouquet and highlight the grace of the Pinot Noir. Recommended cellaring is 5 to 6 years under good cellar conditions, bottle laid down and stable temperature. This period will allow the wine to gain complexity, soften its tannins and develop deeper notes without losing the bright character that makes it appealing today.

Accords mets et vin

• Game (feathered and furred): venison and roe deer, served pink, underline the wine’s pedigree and structure.
• Red and white meats: beef, veal, and poultry, particularly roast chicken, for a harmonious dialogue between succulent juices and vivid fruit.
• Seasonal sides: roasted vegetables, reduced jus, fresh herbs, which complement the delicacy of the Pinot Noir without masking it.
• Soft cheeses: moderately aged to preserve freshness and the wine’s silky mouthfeel.
