Nuiton-Beaunoy Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2023 is a classic expression of Burgundy’s most celebrated red grape. The 2023 vintage reveals a youthful and vibrant Pinot Noir, marked by a bright ruby colour and fresh aromatic profile. Crafted exclusively from Pinot Noir grapes harvested from selected parcels across the Bourgogne AOC, this cuvée benefits from careful vinification in stainless steel to preserve the purity of fruit and subtleties of the variety. Gentle extraction and moderate ageing ensure a supple texture, allowing red cherry, raspberry, and subtle violet notes to come to the fore, supported by a delicate hint of spice and fine, silky tannins. Its moderate alcohol and lively acidity reflect the finesse that Burgundy is famed for.
The Burgundy region, and in particular the generic Bourgogne appellation, enjoys a cool continental climate that endows its wines with remarkable freshness and elegance. Soils here are diverse, but limestone and clay dominate, lending structure and a mineral nuance to the wines. The long-standing history of winemaking in Burgundy is rooted in monastic tradition, with rigorous parcel selection resulting in wines of both typicity and sense of place, even at this regional level. Nuiton-Beaunoy, as a reputable grower-producer, works with sustainable practices to enhance the terroir’s expression.
For food pairing, the light body and bright acidity of Nuiton-Beaunoy Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2023 make it an ideal partner to roasted poultry, such as herb-crusted chicken or duck breast with red fruit sauce. It also works beautifully with classic Burgundian fare like coq au vin or œufs en meurette. For vegetarian options, try it alongside a mushroom risotto or a beetroot and goat’s cheese tart, both of which echo the earthy undertones of the wine.
Serve this wine slightly chilled, ideally at 14-16°C, to highlight its vibrant fruit and delicate floral aromas. Decanting is not necessary, but allowing the wine a short time in the glass before tasting will help it open up. Enjoy within the next 2-3 years for maximum freshness and charm.
