A miracle woven by 25 years. A mature Burgundy that a professional buyer with 30 years of experience praises as "unparalleled"

Aged Burgundy is said to be the ultimate destination for wine lovers. This particular wine is a 2001 vintage Pinot Noir that Jean Charles Lecuyer, a négociant specializing in old wines established in the 1970s, has kept in perfect condition. Our staff member, boasting 30 years of experience as a buyer, gives this bottle their seal of approval, calling its perfection "an unparalleled masterpiece," and it is now at its peak of enjoyment.

"Mount Fuji 8th Station" A rare vintage now at its perfect drinking age

If aging wine is like climbing a mountain, this 2001 vintage is precisely at the "8th station." The powerful drive towards its peak and the complex nuances from aging are in perfect balance. As it's a négociant wine, the specific producer is undisclosed, but its high quality is evident from the first sip. After more than 20 years, it still maintains a miraculous condition, with elegant acidity and deep umami coexisting.

A timeless artistic aroma: Harmony of truffle and aged notes

The moment it's poured into the glass, deep aromas reminiscent of "truffle," "mushrooms," "fallen leaves," and "black tea" emerge, characteristic of top-quality aged Pinot Noir. The black cherry and raspberry fruit flavors have mellowed, blending with silky smooth tannins, leading to a long and sensual finish.

Exquisite pairings that enhance the gourmet experience

To maximize the depth of this aged wine, pair it with savory dishes. It pairs exceptionally well with "aged cheese with white mold," fatty "roast duck," and rich "chicken stew." Start with a slightly cooler temperature of 14-16℃ and enjoy the slow evolution of its aroma in the glass.
