Jean-Philippe Marchand Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Les Perrières

This 2018 Saint-Aubin Premier Cru Les Perrières is produced by Jean-Philippe Marchand in Burgundy's renowned Côte de Beaune region. Saint-Aubin is celebrated for producing elegant and expressive wines that reflect the distinctive characteristics of its limestone-rich terroir.

Les Perrières is a Premier Cru vineyard within the Saint-Aubin appellation, where limestone-based soils and favourable hillside conditions contribute to wines with refined structure, freshness and mineral complexity.

Made from Pinot Noir grapes, this red wine reflects the traditional characteristics of Burgundian winemaking. Conventional methods generally involve careful grape selection, fermentation with skin contact and maturation in oak barrels to enhance the wine's texture, depth and aromatic complexity.

The wine displays a brilliant ruby-red colour with delicate garnet reflections. The nose is elegant and expressive, revealing aromas of ripe red cherries, raspberries and strawberries, complemented by subtle notes of violet, sweet spices, earthy undertones and gentle oak.

On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, with silky tannins and refreshing acidity creating a harmonious balance. Layers of red berries, delicate spices and subtle mineral characteristics gradually unfold, leading to a refined and lingering finish.

A graceful expression of Saint-Aubin Premier Cru, combining vibrant fruit, elegance and the distinctive finesse of Burgundy Pinot Noir.

An excellent accompaniment to roasted poultry, particularly duck, chicken and game birds. It also pairs beautifully with tender cuts of beef, roasted pork, lamb and traditional French dishes.

The wine's elegant structure and balanced acidity make it particularly suitable for mushroom-based dishes, roasted vegetables and lightly seasoned meats.

It also complements soft and semi-hard cheeses, including Brie, Camembert and Comté.
