Cuvée Brunet Beaune 1er Cru Pinot Noir 1969

9.1

Domaine de Hospices de Beaune Cuvée Brunet 1969, Burgundy, France

#AgedWineTuesday

Beautiful color of ruby with a wide brick rim.

Not too much on the nose right out of the bottle, and very dry on the palate with nice complexity and a soft mouthfeel.

Showing cherries, blueberries, raspberries, light oak, spices, vinaigrette, herbs, wet leaves, earth, peppercorn and light vegetables.

Long finish with no tannins at all.

This 55 year old Pinot Noir from Burgundy is still drinking very nicely. Gentle and fruity right out of the bottle, and gets earthier as it opens up.

Showing nice complexity with a soft mouthfeel.

Easy drinking right out of the bottle, and good by itself or with food.

12% alcohol by volume.

Very yummy. Light body that opened up like a flower after only a few hours. Really enjoyed this especially for the price. — 10 months ago

I’ve been drinking this slowly over a week and a half. At this point it tastes like a fortified or mulled wine. It’s deep, inky like ox blood, burnt copper color around the rim. The smell is mulled red fruit, raspberry, strawberry, dry earth, purple flowers, sweet lavender. Very delicate tannins remain with an acidity that tickles the edges of the tongue and fades quickly. What you’re left with is something that resembles a young fortified wine with beautiful red fruit, earth, a floral element that lingers, and a slight hint of mushroom. It’s quite lovely and unexpected. — a month ago
