Domaine Rene Leclerc 'Clos Prieur' - Gevrey Chambertin

This 2019 Pinot Noir hails from Gevrey Chambertin, a well - regarded sub - appellation in Burgundy, France. In recent times, René Leclerc has handed over the winemaking and management of the domaine to his son, François. François skillfully combines new winemaking ideas with the family's long - standing traditional methods. The domaine spans 12 hectares around Gevrey - Chambertin. This wine offers a delightful blend of fresh and baked cherry flavors, along with earthy mineral notes and hints of button mushrooms. It has silky tannins and a lingering finish. It pairs perfectly with roast duck!

To enjoy this wine, first, let it breathe for about 30 minutes to an hour after opening. Pour it into a wide - bowl glass to allow the aromas to develop. You can serve it at a temperature of around 13 - 15°C. This wine pairs extremely well with roast duck, but you can also try it with other roasted meats or game. When storing, keep it in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and strong vibrations. Make sure the bottle is lying horizontally to keep the cork moist. If there's any leftover wine, seal the bottle tightly and store it in the refrigerator. It can stay good for a couple of days, though the flavors may gradually fade.
