Burgundy, the spiritual home of Pinot Noir, has a fascinating ability to produce wines with remarkably different personalities from the same grape variety. With this Paul Aegerter Burgundy & Marsannay Gift Set, Louvins invites you to discover two complementary expressions of Burgundy, brought together in an elegant presentation.

The gift set combines a Paul Aegerter Bourgogne Pinot Noir, appealing for its fruit and accessibility, with a Paul Aegerter Marsannay Réserve Personnelle 2023, from an appellation located at the gateway to the Côte de Nuits.

Two bottles, one grape variety and two distinctive identities: a selection designed both to explore the nuances of Pinot Noir and to offer an elegant gift to any Burgundy wine enthusiast.

Paul Aegerter and Burgundy

Based in Burgundy, Paul Aegerter offers a contemporary interpretation of the region’s diverse terroirs. Through its cuvées, the house showcases Burgundy’s renowned appellations and the expression of their emblematic grape varieties.

This gift set provides a particularly interesting opportunity to explore this diversity through a comparative tasting: a regional Bourgogne Pinot Noir alongside a village appellation Marsannay.

A Journey Through Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is inseparable from the identity of Burgundy’s great red wines. A delicate grape variety, it is appreciated for its aromatic finesse, fruit, freshness and remarkable ability to reflect the nuances of its terroir.

Bringing these two bottles together reveals two different facets of the grape. The Bourgogne Pinot Noir offers a generous and approachable expression, while the Marsannay Réserve Personnelle 2023 delivers a more assertive and structured interpretation.

Paul Aegerter Bourgogne Pinot Noir

The Paul Aegerter Bourgogne Pinot Noir provides an elegant introduction to the region’s red wines. It seeks a harmonious balance between expressive fruit, freshness and finesse, with the delicate texture characteristic of Pinot Noir.

Accessible and versatile, it can be enjoyed with a relaxed gourmet aperitif as easily as with traditional cuisine, roasted poultry or a fine selection of charcuterie and cheeses.

Tasting Notes – Bourgogne Pinot Noir

Appearance: a bright ruby colour with elegant red highlights.

Nose: a bouquet dominated by fresh red fruits, complemented by delicate spicy nuances and the characteristic aromatic expression of Pinot Noir.

Palate: supple and beautifully balanced. Fruit accompanies a delicate texture and fine tannins, while freshness brings an appealing sense of lightness and generosity.

Paul Aegerter Marsannay Réserve Personnelle 2023

Located in the northern part of the Côte de Nuits, at the gateway to Dijon, Marsannay is a particularly interesting Burgundy appellation for discovering Pinot Noir wines that combine elegance, freshness and character.

The Paul Aegerter Marsannay Réserve Personnelle 2023 adds another dimension to this gift set. More assertive in style, it takes the tasting experience further with a Pinot Noir whose personality is more distinctly shaped by its appellation.

Tasting Notes – Marsannay Réserve Personnelle 2023

Appearance: a beautiful, deep and brilliant ruby colour.

Nose: an elegant expression dominated by red and black fruits, accompanied by spicy nuances that add complexity to the bouquet.

Palate: the initial impression is harmonious before gradually revealing greater depth and structure. The tannins remain fine, while freshness carries the wine through to an elegant finish.

Two Wines to Taste Side by Side

Beyond its elegant gift presentation, this set offers a genuinely interesting wine-tasting experience. It provides an opportunity to compare two wines made from the same grape variety but belonging to two different levels within Burgundy’s appellation hierarchy.

To make the most of the experience, we recommend beginning with the Bourgogne Pinot Noir, which is more supple and immediately generous, before moving on to the Marsannay Réserve Personnelle 2023.

This progression allows you to appreciate the differences in fruit, texture, structure and length between the two cuvées.

Serving Temperature

Ideally serve both wines at around 15 to 17°C.

A slightly cool serving temperature will preserve the aromatic finesse and balance of the Pinot Noir. The bottles may also be opened a little before the meal, allowing the wines to gradually express themselves in the glass.

Food & Wine Pairings

Thanks to the complementary personalities of the two cuvées, this gift set offers numerous pairing possibilities with French and gourmet cuisine.

Aperitifs: Burgundy gougères, jambon persillé, fine charcuterie, terrines or a gourmet sharing platter.

Starters: pâté en croûte, poultry terrine, eggs en meurette or sautéed mushrooms.

Main courses: roasted poultry, duck fillet, roast veal, pork tenderloin, slow-cooked beef, mushroom risotto or traditional Burgundian cuisine.

Cheeses: Brillat-Savarin, Chaource, mature pressed cheeses or Époisses for those who enjoy a more distinctive Burgundian pairing.

Perfect Occasions

This gift set is naturally suited to a dinner with friends, a Sunday lunch or an evening dedicated to discovering the wines of Burgundy.

Its elegant presentation also makes it a wonderful choice for a birthday, dinner invitation, festive celebration, corporate gift or present for a wine enthusiast.

It can also simply be enjoyed at home as a comparative tasting experience centred around Pinot Noir.

An Elegant Wine Gift Set

The two bottles are presented in an elegant black two-bottle gift case accompanied by accessories dedicated to the enjoyment and service of wine.

The contrast between the black case, its gold-coloured details and the two bottles creates a refined presentation that immediately showcases the wines and makes the set ready to give as a gift.
