The Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2022 from Domaine Philippe Livera is an elegant and refined expression of the historic wine region of Burgundy. With an alcohol content of 13%, this still red wine reveals an intricate blend of tradition and innovation, perfectly embodying its terroir. The grapes are cultivated using traditional methods in vineyards that benefit from optimal exposure and are hand-harvested to ensure maximum quality.
In the glass, it presents a bright ruby color that invites one to explore its enveloping bouquet. At the first whiff, the aroma of ripe cherries melds with notes of strawberry and red raspberries, creating a fruity symphony that delights the senses. As it unfolds, hints of sweet spices and a slight minerality emerge, paying tribute to the clay-limestone soil typical of the area.
On the palate, the Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2022 reveals a lively freshness, structured by delicate and well-integrated tannins. Each sip offers a perfect balance between acidity and softness, making it a versatile wine for pairing. It pairs beautifully with red meat dishes, such as a grilled filet with mushroom sauce, but also complements aged cheeses and cured meats wonderfully.
The long aromatic persistence leaves an aftertaste of berries and a hint of spice, inviting another sip. This Bourgogne Pinot Noir is not just a wine, but an experience that celebrates Philippe Livera's passion for viticulture and his love for his land. It is a sensory journey that evokes the beauty of the vineyards and the history of a timeless winemaking art.
