Current status

Approaching Maturity

Current condition

Youthful fruit with firm tannins, still developing complexity

The 2021 vintage in Burgundy was healthy with moderate yields and good phenolic ripeness. Chorey-les-Beaune generally produces approachable Pinot Noir with softer tannins than more prestigious Beaune appellations. This wine benefits from 4-6 years bottle age to settle primary fruit and gain complexity, with a drinking window extending 10-15 years due to its balanced acidity and structural tannins.

Food pairing

Roasted duck, grilled mushrooms, game birds, mild aged cheeses like Comté or Gruyère, hearty poultry dishes with earthy sauces

Serving

Serving temperature

15-17°C / 59-63°F
