Domaine Naudin-Ferrand - Orchis Mascula 2023
Orchis Mascula 2023 from Domaine Naudin-Ferrand is a lively and elegant expression of Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune, a red wine shaped by a high-altitude terroir and attentive viticulture. The clear purple robe with violet reflections announces a lively, precise, and deeply Pinot Noir wine. The nose opens with clear aromas of black cherry, raspberry, and fresh red fruits, complemented by floral notes of rose and fine spices that bring relief and finesse. A discreet touch of garrigue and fresh earth evokes the Burgundian identity of the wine, combining pure fruit and a fine aromatic framework. The whole is expressive without excess, with a beautiful clarity of profile that invites tasting.
On the palate, the attack is supple but structured, supported by delicate matter and lively acidity that give it vigor and tension. The flavors of fresh red fruits continue with a spicy nuance and a fine minerality that runs through the wine without heaviness. The tannins are fine, integrated, supporting the whole without hardening, which gives the wine an elegant and harmonious texture. Whole cluster vinification and thoughtful aging (on lees, with a low percentage of new barrels according to some descriptions) emphasize the purity of the fruit and the precision of the terroir. The palate remains fresh and dynamic, with a clean and persistent finish marked by notes of cherry, delicate spices, and a slight saline touch.
Orchis Mascula 2023 is a versatile gastronomic wine, designed to accompany simple but refined cuisine. It will pair perfectly with roasted poultry, stewed beef, mushroom dishes, or slightly aged soft cheeses. Its natural freshness and balance also allow it to be appreciated in more attentive tasting. Served around 14 to 15 °C, it reveals all its complexity and energy. It is a remarkable regional Pinot Noir, precise, elegant, and true to the expression of the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune, reflecting the sincere and thoughtful style of Domaine Naudin-Ferrand.
