€30.00
Bouteille 75 cl

Winegrowers for six generations, the Besancenot family began cultivating the first vines in Beaune in 1850. Faithful to the terroir, the Besancenot family respects the typicity of each parcel. The 12 appellations spread over 10 hectares are made from noble grape varieties: 100% pinot noir for the red wines, and chardonnay or aligoté for the whites. Respecting the know-how handed down through the generations, working methods remain traditional while incorporating new technologies. The estate has been certified Vignerons Indépendants and HVE since 2018.

About

Premier Cru Les Cent Vignes is produced by just two winegrowers. Domaine Besancenot farms an area of 3.30 hectares in this appellation. A full-bodied wine with a long finish, to be enjoyed with fine poultry or to enhance foie gras!

Your questions, our answers.

Is this Beaune suitable if I prefer full-bodied reds to light wines?

Yes, the description highlights a full-bodied wine with a long finish. It’s therefore a profile to consider if you’re looking for a wine with more presence on the palate rather than a light red.

Is this wine a good choice to serve with a fine poultry dish?

Delicate poultry is explicitly recommended in the description. This is the pairing most directly supported for building a meal around this bottle, although no specific recipe or sauce is mentioned.

Can I serve this red with foie gras instead of the main course?

Yes, foie gras is one of the recommended pairings for this wine. You can therefore save it for that part of the meal; however, the description doesn’t specify how the foie gras should be prepared.

What occasion should I choose this bottle for?

A meal where fine poultry or foie gras takes center stage is a good fit with the recommendations provided. Its full-bodied character and long finish make it well suited to enjoying at the table.

What should I pay attention to while tasting it?

Notice the wine’s presence on the palate, then how long the sensations linger after each sip: the description mainly emphasizes its full-bodied texture and long finish. No specific aromas are mentioned, so it isn’t possible to suggest fruity, spicy, or developed notes.
