Chorey Les Beaune "Tue Boeuf" 2021 Domaine Ami
Chorey Les Beaune "Tue Boeuf" 2021 by Domaine Ami is a sublime expression of Pinot Noir, a grape variety that finds its peak expression in the soils of Burgundy, France. This wine is the result of meticulous vinification and aging processes that enhance the unique characteristics of the Chorey-les-Beaune terroir.
Produced from 100% Pinot Noir grapes, "Tue Boeuf" reflects the exceptional quality of Domaine Ami's vineyards. The vines thrive in mineral-rich soils, imparting extraordinary complexity and depth to the wine. The terroir of Chorey-les-Beaune is renowned for its favorable climate and limestone soil, ideal for cultivating Pinot Noir.
The vinification of "Tue Boeuf" begins with a whole-cluster maceration lasting 14 days. This process allows for the extraction of an intense and structured aromatic profile. After maceration, fermentation continues in oak barrels, with 90% of them being used barrels and 10% new. This balance between used and new barrels adds complexity to the wine without overpowering the natural fruity flavors of the grapes.
The wine rests in these barrels for 11 months, a period that allows it to develop a refined and harmonious structure. The extended maturation in wood helps create a wine with soft, well-integrated tannins that further improve with aging.
Chorey Les Beaune "Tue Boeuf" 2021 presents a bright ruby red color. On the nose, it reveals an enchanting bouquet of morello cherries, stewed raspberries, and underbrush. These fruity notes are accompanied by earthy and spicy hints, adding depth and complexity.
On the palate, the wine is vibrant and fresh, with a perfect balance between power and finesse. The berry notes harmonize beautifully with herbal and spicy nuances, creating a symphony of flavors that evolve with each sip. The finish is long and persistent, with a pleasant underbrush note inviting another taste.
