Domaine Céline et Frédéric Gueguen - Bourgogne - La Vigne d'Emile - Pinot Noir - Red - 2023

Wine:

Balancing ripeness and freshness to perfection, with a subtle aging process free of any oaky notes, the 2023 Red Burgundy La Vigne d'Emile Pinot Noir is a true stylistic achievement. Crafted in a northern style that ensures tension and balance, it unfolds gracefully with pure fruit notes and a lively, acidic structure, making it an ideal match for slow-cooked meats—think beef bourguignon or coq au vin.

Color:

Good intensity, brilliant red with carmine-garnet highlights.

Nose:
