Domaine Philippe Girard
2012 Corton Perrieres
Grown on limestone and marl high in potash, this Grand Cru Pinot Noir has an ample bouquet with notes of fruit and a powerful and structured body. Extensive aging recommended.
Beautiful red fruit on the nose, with earthy notes trying to mingle. Very nice balance of bright fruit, spice and forest floor.
Food pairing: Beef stew
A spicy, complex nose with hints of orange water, woody-leather, and musk. The palate is marked by red fruit flavors, suggesting dark cherries, accompanied by musky earthiness. Complexity increases as it opens up. This wine manages to be fruity and earthy, intense and delicate — all at once. Tasty now, but chewy tannins and an extended finish suggests it needs some time in the cellar.
Food pairing: Duck; roasted chicken dishes; rabbit, venison, or other game; lamb; mushroom or lentil dishes
