2013 Domaine Chantal Lescure "Clos des Topes Bizot" C̫te du Beaune Rouge Turns to chocolate and sweetAromas of clove spice, earth and macerated cherries dominate this medium light bodied pinot. The wine hits the palate with a lively freshness displaying flavor profiles of both red and dark berry fruit, yet reveals a subtle streak of graphite like minerality. With a lengthy pepper finish and a zippy dose of good acidity this begs to be opened with dinner tonight. Try a roasted lemon chicken or mushroom risotto for a delicious pairing.
