Bourgogne Cote d'Dor Premiere Cuvee 2020

The 2021 Bourgogne Côte d'Or Première Cuvée from Philippe Charlopin demonstrates how skillful winemaking can elevate a regional-level wine to impressive heights. This biodynamically produced wine, aged in oak, shows remarkable finesse and character.

The nose is immediately appealing, offering pronounced aromas of cherry and blackberry, showing the pure fruit expression that Charlopin consistently achieves. The aromatic profile is fresh and inviting, setting the stage for what follows.

On the palate, the wine displays a beautiful silky texture and admirable delicacy, with the fruit notes carried by subtle mineral undertones. The oak aging is thoughtfully integrated, providing subtle support rather than dominating. The finish is notably refined for its level - fresh, lifted, and surprisingly persistent, with fruit notes that continue to echo.

This wine demonstrates how a talented producer can craft a regional wine that punches well above its weight, offering both immediate pleasure and sophistication.
