Bourgogne „Perrières“ Rouge 2017 1500ml Magnum

Wine Description for Burgundy „Perrières“ Rouge 2017 1500ml Magnum by Clos du Moulin aux Moines

Colour & Appearance

Luminous, translucent purple with garnet-red rim – the classic signature of an elegant Pinot Noir. Crystal clear and possessed of a seductive lustre in the glass.

Nose

An aromatic symphony of remarkable finesse: wild strawberry, cranberry and rosehip meet lingonberry – light-berried, wild, untamed. Beneath lies a fascinating interplay of blackcurrant wood, delicate truffle notes, cocoa shell fragments and pink peppercorns. Nothing asserts itself, everything seduces – a masterpiece of restraint.

Palate

Taut and precise as an arrow: sour cherry juice in its purest form. The long-lasting acidity and the gripping, fine-grained tannins recall fine sandpaper – structured, yet never harsh. The subtle oak influence shows finesse. Already accessible today, this wine will unfold its full suppleness in three years‘ time.

Finish

Persistently red-fruited with an elegant echo of wild berries and subtle spice. The freshness remains intact until the very last moment.

Terroir & Origin

Hailing from the „Perrières“ vineyard site in Burgundy, this wine embodies the Burgundian philosophy of elegance over power. The terroir lends it that mineral tension and finesse which distinguishes great Burgundies.

Grape Variety & Vinification

100% Pinot Noir, vinified with judicious oak influence. The 2017 vintage shows its accessible side – ripe, yet with preserved freshness and structure for further ageing.

Food Pairing Recommendations

Ideal with roasted quail breast with nettle spinach, pan-fried red mullet with black pudding and parsnip risotto or roasted golden beetroot with mild lentil dhal. Serve lightly chilled at 16°C.

Special Features

The magnum bottle (1500ml) promises even more harmonious development and makes this wine the perfect companion for special occasions. A reliable gateway into beautiful Burgundy – elegant, authentic, irresistible.
