🏰 【A highly-rated Grand Cru 布根地 from Lucien Le Moine, the 2011 Chambertin Clos de Beze is praised for its fine minerality, elegant poise, and great finesse, offering an ineffable perfume of raspberry, violet, dried rose, and green tea.】 Lucien Le Moine is known for sourcing fruit that expresses individual lieux-dits, with winemaker Mounir employing a principled approach including minimal sulfur use and extended barrel aging. The 2011 vintage, characterized by low yields and a fresh summer, saw its personality emerge after about a year and a half. This wine, though initially reticent, reveals fine, stony minerality and a well-poised palate with great finesse. It offers an ineffable perfume of raspberry, violet, dried rose, and green tea, along with sappy and seamless notes of red berries, flowers, and minerals, showing great energy and persistence with crushed rock and pepper elements. 🍴 This Pinot Noir Grand Cru pairs beautifully with duck, goose, and game birds. Other excellent pairings include grilled salmon, roasted chicken, mushroom risotto, pork tenderloin, and Peking duck. 🥂 A sublime choice for a connoisseur's dinner, a special anniversary, or a serious 布根地 tasting. This wine will need several years in bottle to allow its aromatics to shine, and it should reward long-term cellaring, though it can be approachable after 7-8 years if desired.
