Maison Pascal Clement Bourgogne Pinot Noir, Burgundy, France 2021 Finca Los Aljibes A firm and chewy redThe bouquet opens on a palette of small red and black fruits (strawberry, cherry, blackcurrant, blueberry) followed by cooked prune with peppery, animal, woody, moss and mushroom touches. Bourgogne Rouge is very lively in the mouth, structured, with a supple, rounded backbone. Its tannins and fruitiness work hand inhand, with the chewy tannins balancing the thrust of the secondary aromas.
