RIFT 496 - Maison Jean Loron - AOC Bourgogne 2021 - Pinot noir - Burgundy, France - Red

Tasting Note: On the nose, delicate aromas of violet and wild red berries - think fresh cherry and strawberry - are threaded with subtle forest-floor spice. The palate is silky and refined, with bright red-fruit flavors lifting across soft, fine-grained tannins. A mineral streak - chalky and cool - runs through the mid-palate, leading to a pristine, lingering finish of rose petal and sweet spice.

Vibe: Graceful and precise. Its altitude-driven freshness and sheer elegance make it ideal for moments when subtlety and sophistication are called for - whether a candlelit dinner or a refined tasting flight.

 Food Pairings:

• Roast duck breast with cherry sauce
• Wild mushroom risotto with Parmesan
• Charcuterie board: saucisson, prosciutto, cornichons
