🏰news | features + short tasting note IN ENGLISH 【The 2002 Drouhin Laroze Chambertin Clos de Beze Grand Cru is a majestic Grand Cru 布根地 from a historic vineyard, offering intense red fruit, liquorice, and spicy notes with significant aging potential.】 This Pinot Noir from a parcel belonging to the monks of the Bèze abbey since 630 AD, presents an intense purple color with a fragrance of small red fruits and liquorice on the nose. The palate is balanced, clear, sound, and rich, with melted, spicy, and precise tannins offering roundness and lightness on the finish, along with a hint of rose. The wine shows a deep, profound, black cherry color, with an initial nose of blood orange, saddle leather, savory notes, black tea, and bergamote. It is a powerful, tannic wine with a lift of acidity, still quite primary in character, with dark cherry and ripe red fruited notes, and hints of blackcurrant and nutmeg. 🍴 Chinese Cantonese food pairing various types of suggestion east or west corresponding to wine cost IN ENGLISH This elegant Grand Cru 布根地 is an excellent pairing for refined dishes. Consider roasted duck, goose, or various game birds. It also complements pan-seared foie gras, mushroom risotto, or a delicate truffle pasta. 🥂 fit for event suggestion IN ENGLISH An exceptional choice for a milestone anniversary, a sophisticated dinner with discerning guests, or a special occasion demanding a truly profound wine. This 2002 vintage is a robust *vin de garde* that needs time to shine, ideally another 5+ years. It is a wine to be laid down, and while it can be enjoyed now, it will continue to evolve beautifully. For older wines like this, expect some bottle variation. The cork and capsule may be fragile, so a Durand opener is highly recommended. Decant for 1-2 hours to allow it to open up, but be mindful of sediment. Serve at cellar temperature (around 16-18°C) in large Burgundy glasses to appreciate its complex bouquet.
