🏰 D'Issoncourt Corton Grand Cru 2002, from Burgundy's historic and largest red Grand Cru, offers a robust yet opulent expression of Pinot Noir, celebrated for its diverse aromatic profile and powerful structure. Corton Grand Cru is unique for its amphitheater-like vineyard with south-east/south-west exposure, contributing to optimal grape ripening. This wine is both robust and opulent, offering a lot of sensuality. Its structure in the mouth is tannic but supple, revealing a great diversity of aromas of red fruits, woody nuances (sometimes empyreumatic), and floral touches, all with beautiful persistence. Expect generous aromatic expressions of fruit notes like blueberry, gooseberry, and kirsch cherry, or flowers such as violet, evolving towards underbrush, animal, leather, fur, pepper, and liquorice. 🍴 This powerful red 布根地 is a superb match for highly-flavored meats, including roast or grilled beef, and any game (furred or feathered) whether roasted, braised, or in sauce. It also pairs well with furry or feathered game, roast beef, grilled or in sauce, or even soft cheese. Strong soft-centred cheeses and blue cheeses are also excellent companions. 🥂 An excellent choice for a celebratory dinner, a special occasion with game dishes, or for collectors appreciating a mature and complex Burgundy Grand Cru.
