DAILY DRINK RECOMMENDATIONS

This Blagny 1er Cru Sous Le Puits Rouge 2021 by Joseph Pascal offers a delightful expression of Burgundy. With a vibrant ruby color, it entices the senses with aromas of ripe red berries, subtle floral notes, and hints of earthiness. On the palate, it delivers a harmonious blend of juicy fruit flavors, well-integrated tannins, and a refreshing acidity. The finish is elegant and lingering, leaving a lasting impression.

Philippe Charlopin, a prominent figure in Burgundy, has witnessed and adapted to various trends throughout his extensive career. Initially favoring whole clusters, he later transitioned to destemmed fruit under Henri Jayer’s influence, before reintroducing some whole clusters in recent years. Charlopin’s 2020 Chambolle-Musigny Village presents aromas of raspberries, cherries, licorice, and forest floor, setting the stage for a medium to full-bodied wine with layers of succulence. It’s a commendable representation of the appellation.
