🏰 The 2017 布根地 vintage was a welcome relief after several lean years, offering both quality and quantity, with reds described as 【fresh, transparent, juicy, and gourmand】. Yann Durieux's BT Les Boutieres 2017, a Pinot Noir from this approachable vintage, embodies a classic Burgundian profile with 【delicate red berry fruit, subtle yet chalky tannins, crisp acidity, and modest alcohol levels】. It's considered a 'restaurant vintage' due to its early drinkability and is noted for its fragrance, attractive fruit, lacy tannins, and strong terroir character. Some critics found the 2017 reds to be considerably more serious than earlier vintages, with a structure that suggests good aging potential. 🍴 This elegant Pinot Noir is a versatile food companion, excelling with delicate cured meats, mushroom or truffle dishes, and rich pasta with duck ragù. It also pairs beautifully with grilled or pan-seared salmon and tuna steak, roasted beets, roast chicken, Coq au Vin, pork tenderloin, and mild cheeses. 🥂 Perfect for a delightful dinner with friends, a casual gathering, or for enjoying a classic, approachable 布根地. While enjoyable now, it also offers good potential for medium-term cellaring.
