🏰 The 2021 Burgundy vintage was a highly challenging year, marked by severe frosts and mildew, leading to dramatically reduced quantities, with some producers reporting losses of 30-50%, and even up to 70-85%. Despite these adversities, winemakers like Amiot Servelle crafted beautiful wines, returning to a more classic, fresher, and lighter style with good potential, particularly for reds. The Amiot Servelle Chambolle Musigny Les Plantes 1er Cru 2021 offers an attractive and pure bouquet with dark cherries and crushed strawberry, complemented by nicely integrated oak. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, and the judicious use of 20% whole bunches is neatly integrated, cohesive, and gains weight towards the finish, resulting in a classy wine. It also presents cool, airy, and nicely layered aromas of red raspberry, dark cherry, and rose petal, with a tautly muscular and beautifully defined medium-weight palate. 【A rare, elegant expression from a historically challenging yet ultimately rewarding vintage for Burgundy reds, showcasing delicate fruit and minerality】. 🍴 This elegant Pinot Noir is an excellent pairing for duck, goose, and other game birds, with roast duck being a classic match. 🥂 Ideal for special occasions, particularly for Burgundy purists who appreciate a classic, elegant style, or for those looking to cellar a wine that will evolve beautifully.
