Vintage Character Domaine Devevey Beaune 1er Cru Pertuisots 2021 is a refined expression of Burgundy’s premier cru vineyards, situated on the gentle, southeast-facing slopes just south of Beaune. The 2021 vintage in Burgundy was marked by a cool spring and severe early April frosts, which led to significantly reduced yields but also delivered wines of remarkable clarity, freshness, and tension.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing This wine opens with an inviting bouquet of wild strawberries, red cherries, and delicate rose petal, interwoven with subtle spice and earthy nuances. The palate is medium-bodied, featuring silky tannins and vibrant acidity, with flavors of tart red berries, crushed herbs, and a pronounced mineral edge that reflects its limestone-rich terroir. The finish is long and precise, making it an excellent match for dishes such as duck breast with cherry sauce, roasted game birds, or classic French Comté cheese. The 2021 vintage is celebrated for its precision and energy, a direct result of the challenging yet rewarding growing season.
