Domaine Philippe Germain, Hautes Cotes de Beaune Vieilles Vignes Rouge, Burgundy, France 2022

The Domaine Philippe Germain Hautes Côtes de Beaune Vieilles Vignes Rouge is a classic red Burgundy characterized by its brilliant crimson color and deep purple accents. The nose offers a seductive aromatic bouquet of morello cherries and raspberries that matures into notes of blackcurrant, licorice, and savory undergrowth. On the palate, this 100% Pinot Noir is supple and well-structured, delivering a savory freshness with smooth, "friendly" tannins that reflect its clay-limestone origin.
