From: Burgundy, France
Varietal: Pinot Noir
Taste: The nose is an enticing mix of ripe red fruits such as cherries and raspberries, complemented by subtle cinnamon and floral accents. As the wine opens up, hints of earthiness and rose petal add complexity to the bouquet. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, displaying a velvety texture and well-integrated tannins. Ample red fruit flavors, such as cherry and raspberry, are balanced by refreshing acidity, giving the wine a lively and approachable character. Delicate notes of smoke, earth, citrus, and minerality come together, leading to a long, sappy, and satisfying finish.
Pairing: This versatile red Burgundy is a perfect match for a wide range of dishes, particularly those featuring red meats, poultry, salmon, or rich, earthy flavors. The wine's refreshing acidity and fruit-forward profile will complement and enhance the flavors in your meal. In keeping with its Burgundian roots, the 2020 Domaine Rapet Bourgogne Rouge - En Bully pairs beautifully with traditional French dishes, such as coq au vin, beef bourguignon, or duck confit. For a more casual pairing, try it with a classic jambon persillé (recipe below) or a selection of French cheeses like Epoisses, Comté, or Crottin de Chavignol.
