2021 Maison Pascal Clement Bourgogne Rouge

A delicate combination of both Côte de Beaune and Côte D’Or fruit, creating a near translucent crimson color of red cherry, red plum, blackcurrant and light blueberry. 10 months in large 500L barrels let the wine fully express itself while developing. The aromas are earth heavy with damp meadow notes as well as a wooded forest. More wet soil with mushrooms and a touch of green herbs and gravel. The bouquet opens on a palette of small red and black fruits (strawberry, cherry, blackcurrant, blueberry) followed by cooked prune with peppery, animal, woody, moss and mushroom touches. Bourgogne Rouge is very lively in the mouth, structured, with a supple, rounded backbone. Its tannins and fruitiness work hand-in-hand, with the chewy tannins balancing the thrust of the secondary aromas.
