Beaune 1er CRU Rouge "Les Cents Vignes" ARNOUX 2021 75 cl

Description

Beaune Premier Cru “Les Cents Vignes” 2021 from Domaine Arnoux Père et Fils is a refined red Burgundy made from Pinot Noir. From the Côte de Beaune, it combines ripe-fruit aromas with an expressive palate, a fleshy texture and silky tannins. Its balance makes it a rewarding choice for a special meal or a focused wine tasting.

A Burgundy terroir and careful maturation

The “Les Cents Vignes” vineyard has deep clay-limestone soils interspersed with silt. Grapes are harvested by hand, followed by a cold pre-fermentation maceration and around twenty days of vatting, with gentle punch-downs and pump-overs. The wine is then matured for twelve months in barrels and a further three to four months in tanks. The proportion of new oak varies according to the vintage.

Ripe fruit and a silky structure

The wine has a bright ruby colour. Its aromatic profile expresses ripe red fruits, particularly black cherry. On the palate, it offers pronounced aromatic intensity and a generous, fleshy texture. Silky tannins provide structure while preserving the elegance associated with Pinot Noir. The finish is refined and persistent, leaving a lasting impression of ripe fruit and balance.

Food pairing suggestions

This Premier Cru pairs well with classic French dishes such as beef bourguignon and veal in sauce. It also complements roasted or braised game, other richly flavoured meats and mature cheeses. Serve at approximately 14–16°C to reveal its aromas and allow the wine to open gradually in the glass.

A wine for Burgundy enthusiasts

The 2021 vintage is presented in a 75 cl bottle. Domaine Arnoux suggests a drinking window of four to ten years, depending on storage conditions and how the wine develops in bottle. It is a compelling option for drinkers who appreciate structured, fruit-driven Burgundy with a polished finish.
