Domaine Jessiaume - Beaune 1er cru - Les Cents Vignes - Rouge - 2021

Wine:

The 2021 red Beaune 1er Cru Les Cents Vignes reveals the freshness of pinot noir, with cherry and raspberry notes supported by appropriate aging.

For example, a fine bottle to open in two or three years with roast poultry or veal chop.
