FEATURES
Domaine Comte Senard, established in 1857, is renowned for crafting superb, age-worthy wines from the prestigious Aloxe-Corton appellation, including the esteemed Corton Clos du Roi Grand Cru. The Clos du Roi is widely regarded as the most celebrated of all Corton Grands Crus, an aristocratic wine that is both powerful and refined, exuding charisma. Since 1988, Philippe Senard and later his daughter Lorraine have championed cold-soaking and temperature control during fermentation, techniques that enhance the wine's aromatic complexity and aging potential. 【最負盛名的Corton特級園之一】。
This Corton Clos du Roi Grand Cru typically displays a gorgeous deep ruby red color. It offers a complex and sweet nose, with an intensely elegant richness and smoothness on the palate. Fine tannins, subtle persistence, and gourmet nuances contribute to its impressive length. Tasting notes from various vintages of this wine often highlight notes of leather, earthy undertones, smoke, red fruits like raspberry and strawberry, as well as oak, vanilla, tobacco, black cherry, blueberry, and hints of spices such as pepper, licorice, and cinnamon.
🍴 Food Pairing: This red Burgundy is an excellent match for game, grilled meats, poultry with creamy sauces, and creamy, light cheeses. More broadly, Comte Senard wines pair perfectly with refined dishes such as roasted poultry, fish in sauce, or soft cheeses. Specific recommendations include beef, veal, and various game birds.
🥂 Event Suggestion: A 1990 Grand Cru Burgundy is an ideal choice for significant celebrations, milestone anniversaries, or a serious wine collector's dinner. Its age and prestige make it suitable for events where a truly special and mature red wine is desired.
