Devaux Hautes cotes beaune 2021

This dry red wine comes from France, built around Pinot Noir from the 2021 vintage. About the grape — Pinot Noir is a delicate, thin-skinned red grape famed for its silky texture and bright flavors of red cherry, raspberry and earthy, savory undertones. France is the spiritual home of wine, the place that gave us most of the world's classic styles and the whole idea that where a wine grows shapes how it tastes. Lovely with lighter fare — salmon, roast chicken, mushroom risotto. Pop it open at cool room temperature — a brief chill on a hot day doesn't hurt.
