【Japan Import: 316 Bottles / Whole Lot Purchased】Auxey-Duresses Rouge 2000 Jean Charles Rion 750ml Bourgogne Aged Red
A Miraculous Condition Awakens After 26 Years: The Essence of Elegantly Aged Pinot Noir
While the true essence of Burgundy lies in "aging," it is rare to encounter such an old wine that has maintained its condition so remarkably. We are pleased to present the 2000 Auxey-Duresses, a millennium vintage produced by Jean-Charles Requié, a négociant specializing in old wines based in the suburbs of Beaune. After more than a quarter-century of aging, this astonishing bottle, now 26 years old, is still brimming with vitality.
The Pride of a Négociant Specializing in Old Wines: A Masterpiece "Bought in Its Entirety" by a Professional
Jean-Charles Requié is a specialist who carefully selects wines from reliable producers and ages them independently in his own cellars. His reliable quality is so highly regarded that even major négociants take notice. This particular cuvée was a rare limited import to Japan, with only 316 bottles available. However, our buyer, upon tasting it, was so impressed by its overwhelming condition that he immediately decided to purchase the entire lot, wanting to share this感動 with all our customers.
The 2000 Vintage: Still "Ascending" with Overwhelming Potential
The moment it's poured into the glass, the sensual aroma characteristic of aged Pinot Noir spreads. The noble notes reminiscent of truffles and nuances of fallen leaves combine, truly embodying the essence of "fine aged Burgundy." Despite 26 years having passed, the balance of flavors is still on an upward trajectory, as if ascending towards its peak (8th station), maintaining a firm structure and elegant fruitiness.
Recommended Ways to Enjoy and Pairings
Its deeply complex flavor pairs perfectly with umami-rich dishes featuring sauces and marinades.
- Meat Dishes: Duck confit (with berry sauce), teriyaki chicken, high-quality yakitori enjoyed with sauce.
- Cheese: Aged, rich, and creamy bloomy rind cheeses (such as Brie de Meaux).
【About "Sediment" in Aged Wine】
As this product has undergone 26 years of long-term aging, "sediment" – crystallized wine components – may adhere to the bottom or inside of the bottle. In particular, this product may contain very fine powdery sediment, but this is a testament to the healthy aging of the wine and does not affect its quality. Please stand the bottle upright for several days before opening to allow the sediment to settle, then carefully pour it into a glass to enjoy.Product Specifications
