Bourgogne Passetoutgrain 2021 Domaine Castagnier 75 cl

Description

History

Jérôme Castagnier has established himself as one of Burgundy’s most significant emerging talents, winning the prestigious “Jeunes Talents de Bourgogne” title for two consecutive years. Despite his family origins as a winemaker in Morey-Saint-Denis, Jérôme began his career as a musician, even playing the trumpet for the Republican Guard at the Elysée in Paris.

However, his love for his homeland and his passion for viticulture pushed him to return to Burgundy in 2004, to take care of the family’s precious viticultural heritage together with his father. After his father’s passing in 2012, Jérôme took on the task of enhancing the family’s prestigious crus, including Clos de Vougeot, Clos Saint Denis and Clos de la Roche.

Jérôme Castagnier’s talent is unquestionable and, although he is already established in France, we are sure that he will soon join the small group of the greatest Burgundy producers. His dedication to enhancing the prestigious family vineyards and his ability to create wines of exceptional depth are a clear sign of his commitment and talent. We can’t wait to discover the wonders that Jérôme has in store for us in the future and to taste his wines, which will undoubtedly be a testimony to his extraordinary journey in Burgundian viticulture.

The aging process, which lasted 12 months, takes place in oak barrels until final bottling, without any preliminary clarification or filtration.

Tasting notes

Light ruby red colour. The fascinating aromatic bouquet is characterized by fruity aromas of blueberry and cherry which harmonize with notes of violet and undergrowth. Pleasantly spicy nuances emerge in the background. The taste develops in a fresh, juicy and elegant way, with a delicate tannin that leads to an irresistible persistence of fruity and slightly spicy notes.

Possible combinations

Perfect with high-quality meat dishes, such as a grilled beef fillet or a wild boar roast.
