🏰 The 2021 Burgundy Pinot Noir vintage was challenging due to frost and damp conditions, leading to reduced yields. However, the best vignerons crafted elegant, refined wines with freshness, energy, and finesse. This Emmanuel Rouget Vosne-Romanée Cros Parantoux 1er Cru, from a legendary vineyard, embodies the resilience of the vintage. Expect a floral vintage for Pinot Noir, with enticing red-cherry aromas and soft summer fruits, offering juicy freshness and crunch. While specific 2021 tasting notes are scarce, previous vintages from this esteemed vineyard show notes of dark cherry, raspberry, violet, cassis, sweet spices, dark chocolate, smoke, rose petals, and toasty new oak, often with earthy and black fruit undertones. The 2022 vintage was described as having a 'brutally backward bouquet' that eventually unfurls to reveal blood orange and crème de cassis with a crystalline finish. Given the 2021's lighter style, it will likely lean towards elegance and purity. 【 Legendary vineyard with Grand Cru quality 】 🍴 This exquisite Pinot Noir is a superb match for veal, game (deer, venison), and beef. It also pairs wonderfully with red sauce dishes, braised meats, roast white meats, and gamey meats. Consider liver, kidney, game birds, kebabs, wok-fried poultry, pasta, risottos, and even soft cheeses like Camembert or Brie. 🥂 The 2021 vintage shows good potential and will reward patience, offering elegant and refined expressions of Burgundy. It is a wine that will gain complexity with age.
