Domaine Parigot - Hautes-Côtes de Beaune - Clos de la Perrière Rouge 2009

Wine:

Domaine Parigot's Clos de la Perrière Red 2009 is lively and sharp on entry. On the palate, we find delicious notes of red fruit, particularly burlat cherries. Behind a lovely tannic frame, at half its full force, the wine blossoms out into a long, equally fruity finish.

Vinification:

Hand harvested, 100% de-stalked, cold maceration for 8 days, punching of the cap, slow fermentation over 12 days, 12 months cask aging, racking, fining and bottling in December.

Color:

Lovely, sustained peony colour.

Nose:

Ripe and intense on the nose, aromas of red fruit, particularly morello cherries.

Palate:

Well structured on the palate and endowed with attractive tannic power. There are very ripe fruit notes in this vintage.

Temperature:

Serve between 14 and 16°C.

Food and wine pairing:

Roast free range chicken, filet of roast pork, cheese choux pastries, grilled tuna steak.

Cellar aging:

Enjoy up to and including 2014
