Characteristics and Tasting Tips for the Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune 2023 from Domaine Pierre Boisson

Tasting notes

Colour

This Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune 2023 shows a light, translucent ruby hue, typical of a Pinot Noir grown at altitude, where measured extraction favours finesse over depth of colour.

Nose

The nose of this wine from Domaine Pierre Boisson opens with clean aromas of tart cherry and strawberry, lifted by a subtle touch of fresh mint. The whole is precise and transparent, without any heaviness, hinting at the freshness of its original terroir.

Palate

The attack reveals a delicate texture, carried by a slight, mouthwatering note of red fruit, almost candied, immediately tempered by vibrant acidity. The tannins, fine yet distinctly present, give structure without ever tightening the palate. The finish lingers on high-toned red fruit notes, in an airy and vibrant register rather than a massive one.

Food and wine pairing

This Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune 2023 pairs beautifully with lamb and mutton, white meats such as chicken, veal or rabbit, as well as small game and game birds such as quail or guinea fowl. Its freshness and fine tannins also make it an enjoyable companion for dishes in which the flavours remain clean and delicate.

Serving and cellaring

This Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune 2023 can be lightly decanted before serving to allow its aromas to express themselves fully. It is best enjoyed within the first years following the vintage, depending on storage conditions.
