Domaine Jérôme Galeyrand - Morey-Saint-Denis - La Bidaude Rouge 2007

Wine:

Morey-Saint-Denis 2007 asserts a very elegant identity of the Pinot Noir. This wine combines the sap of the Gevrey-Chambertin terroirs with the breeding and lace of Chambolle-Musigny. It is seductively somewhere between the two. Drinking well today, it will go well with all winter and spring type dishes.

Vinification:

Traditional vinification, harvested in perforated cases. Sorted on the vine, followed by a second table sorting before de-stalking. Cold pre-fermentation maceration at a temperature of 16°C for 4 to 8 days, before the start of fermentation using natural yeasts. Aging for 16 months in oak casks, of which 30% are new.

Color:

Ruby red.

Nose:

Fruity bouquet, aromas of dark fruit (blackcurrant), redcurrants and cherries.

Palate:

Acidulous and delicious on the palate, on the palate we find lovely dark fruit notes.

Temperature:

Serve between 16 and 18°C. Decant 30 mins before drinking.

Food and wine pairing:

Feathered game, matured cheeses, roast red meat.

Cellar aging:

Enjoy up to and including 2014
