🏰The 2023 Georges Noëllat Beaune Clos de la Mignotte 1er Cru is a highly anticipated release, hailed as 【the bigger and better of the two Beaune wines from this esteemed domaine】 and a true 'vin d'émotion'. This monopole, planted in 1970 on brown clay soil over limestone, showcases Maxime Cheurlin's dedication to crafting memorable Pinot Noir with a focus on precision and cellaring potential. Expect a bright ruby red with garnet highlights, an intense and complex nose of fresh red fruits (cherry, raspberry), floral notes, and sweet spices. The palate is broad and elegant, with supple tannins, well-balanced freshness, and a persistent finish featuring fine mineral nuances, offering a refined and classy sensual deep red fruit experience. 🍴 This elegant red Burgundy pairs excellently with matured ribeye steak, herb-crusted rack of lamb, and rich cheeses like Époisses or creamy Brillat-Savarin. It's also a superb match for roasted duck, goose, game birds, or Cantonese dishes such as crispy skin chicken or braised mushrooms. 🥂 An exceptional wine for a celebratory dinner, a special occasion, or as a valuable addition to your cellar. This young 1er Cru is already showing great promise and is expected to drink beautifully from 2029-2035, with some suggesting it will be at its top within the next three years. Serve at 16-18°C (60-64°F).
