🏰 Francois Parent's Morey St. Denis 2016 is an elegant and well-balanced Pinot Noir from a 13th-generation winemaking family, offering a 【rich array of red fruit tones and fine-grained tannins】. Morey-Saint-Denis wines are typically masculine in character, full and powerful, situated between the elegance of Chambolle-Musigny and the structure of Gevrey-Chambertin. Francois Parent is known for continuing his ancestors' work and experimenting with organic vineyard winemaking. 👃 This wine displays a rich ruby color. The elegant aroma presents a bouquet of pleasant fruit and berry shades with a mineral finish. Expect a rich variety of pure tones of red fruits combined with fine-grained tannins. There are expressive, almost acrid smoke aromas from toasted oak, followed by crunchy black fruit with a rich, lengthy ripeness. It is intense and broad. When older, it can evoke "wildwood" scents of game, leather, and moss, even truffle. 🍴 This classic red Burgundy pairs beautifully with game birds with berry sauce, grilled lamb, salmon, and dishes based on mushrooms. It's also an excellent match for meats of equally strong flavors, such as feathered game (braised or roasted), a fine rib steak, or a thick beef blade. Soft-centered cheeses are also a compatible partner. Duck, goose, and game birds are highly recommended. 🥂 A sophisticated red Burgundy suitable for a refined dinner, a special occasion, or for cellaring to allow further development of its complex aromas. Serve at 13-15°C to best appreciate its nuances.
