2020 Agnes Paquet Auxey-Duresses Les Hoz Rouge

Varietal: Pinot Noir From: Burgundy, France Taste: Aromas of vibrant red fruit immediately greet the olfactory senses, accompanied by earthy underbrush and a note of black tea. On the palate, the wine is fresh and lively, with a juicy middle and compact tannins that integrate quite nicely on the palate. A subtle, lingering finish pulls everything together; and all the succulent flavors of wild strawberry, fresh raspberry, & pomegranate meet those earthy forest undertones with finesse.  Pairing: As long as you go for a balance that incorporates an earthy element, you'll be golden here. Mushrooms, grilled fare, rabbit, risotto, pasta, veal, stroganoff, squash dishes... you get the point.
