2022 Domaine Maxime-Dubuet Boillot Peaux Rouges Pinot Noir

A spirited, vibrant expression of Burgundy’s lighter-hearted side, this 100% Pinot Noir shows the hallmark clarity and energy of the Peaux Rouges cuvée. The colour is a bright, medium ruby with fresh garnet reflections. On the nose, lively aromas of red fruits — think wild cherry, ripe strawberry and a hint of raspberry — leap from the glass, accompanied by subtle floral nuances that hint at rose petal and light spice. On the palate the wine is juicy and approachable, with an agile frame, crisp acidity and supple, fine tannins supporting waves of fresh red berry fruit. There’s a refreshing purity to the fruit, with a gentle savoury undercurrent that enhances both balance and persistence. This is an energetic Bourgogne rouge that delivers fruit-forward pleasure with a sense of finesse, perfect for early drinking while retaining enough structure for simple roast meats or charcuterie.
