Domaine Kuheiji Coteaux Bourguignons 2021

Domaine Kuheiji Coteaux Bourguignons 2021 is a fresh and elegant red Burgundy from visionary Japanese winemaker Kuheiji Kuno, who has won wide acclaim for his ability to combine Japanese precision with Burgundy terroir. Coteaux Bourguignons is a broad appellation that allows both Pinot Noir and Gamay, and in Kuheiji's hands it becomes a wine that emerges with purity, balance and immediate charm.

In the glass, the wine appears ruby ​​red with light violet reflections. The nose is inviting and aromatic with notes of red cherries, raspberries and wild strawberries, complemented by floral touches of violet and discreet hints of spice and herbs.

The palate is lively, juicy and silky with elegant fruitiness, fresh acidity and gentle tannins. The whole is precise and clean with a slight mineral undertone that gives the wine a beautiful balance. The aftertaste is fresh, fruity and slightly spicy, making the wine very drinkable in its youth.

A wine that pairs perfectly with charcuterie, light poultry, grilled vegetables or light pasta dishes, Domaine Kuheiji Coteaux Bourguignons 2021 can be drunk now for its fresh and fruit-driven style, but can also develop elegantly over 3–5 years.
