Domaine René Leclerc: The Epitome of Grand Cru Elegance

The Domaine René Leclerc Griotte-Chambertin Red is a highly sought-after, rare Grand Cru from the Côte de Nuits. Representing the smallest vineyard among the Gevrey-Chambertin Grands Crus, this wine is a testament to the finesse and depth achievable with old-vine Pinot Noir.

Tasting Notes

• Colour: Deep, vibrant ruby to a mature black-cherry red.
• Aroma: Luxuriously complex, presenting a rich core of cherry, blackcurrant, and woodland berries, underscored by floral notes of violet and rose. As it develops, expect sophisticated tertiary aromas of damp earth, leather, and the coveted Burgundian truffle.
• Taste: Exhibits both power and exquisite elegance. The mouthfeel is full-bodied and voluptuous, supported by firm yet polished tannins. The wine’s length and aromatic persistence are exceptional, confirming its status as a world-class wine of great ageing potential.

Food Pairing & Serving Advice

An ideal match for classic British game dishes and fine dining. Serve at 16-17°C (61-63°F). This wine is a cellar investment; for immediate enjoyment, pair it with dishes featuring rich sauces or game, such as a Venison Wellington or a classic Roast Fallow Deer.
