Description
Domaine Darviot-Perrin, Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru ‘Les Bondues’ (Rouge)
The Darviot-Perrin, ‘Les Bondues’ is a brilliant ruby-red moving to magenta at the rim, with an extremely inviting nose loaded with fresh, ripe notes of red and black cherry, wild strawberry, and cranberry mixed with wet rose petals and forest floor/underbrushy quality. The minerality and tannin is subtle and fine-grained, and the fruit generous—it should age nicely over the short term, about 5 years, but it is quite approachable now. Decant it about a half hour before serving in Burgundy stems at 60-65 degrees. Medium-bodied, with a subtle smokiness, this would be fantastic with some grilled salmon, prepared simply as in the attached recipe. This wine has got everything you could ask for in serious red Burgundy, without the serious red Burgundy price
