🏰 The 2001 Daniel Rion Vosne Romanee Les Beaux Monts 1er Cru is a 【muscular yet elegant Burgundy, showcasing excellent focus and structure】 from a vintage that received recognition. This Pinot Noir offers a medium ruby color with a hint of rust, revealing phenomenal notes of strawberry and violet on the nose. The palate is expressive with earth, berries, and a touch of mint, a mouth-coating texture, and a medium finish, hinting at its graceful evolution. 🍴 This refined red Burgundy pairs beautifully with classic French dishes like roasted veal, duck confit, or game birds. It also complements mushroom-based dishes, delicate cheeses, and even some lighter Asian preparations. 🥂 Ideal for a sophisticated dinner party, a quiet evening of contemplation, or as a thoughtful gift for a Burgundy lover. Serving: As a wine from 2001, this is a mature vintage. Expect a developed style with tertiary notes. Always check the cork and capsule carefully. A gentle decant for 30-60 minutes can help it open up and separate any sediment. Serve at 16-18°C (60-64°F) to appreciate its complexity.
