Edmond Cornu Description
Edmond Cornu's Bourgogne Rouge Les Barrigards is a delightful red wine that hails from a single vineyard nestled near Chorey, capturing the essence of the region's terroir. The vineyards, with an average age of thirty years, sit on the eastern side of the route nationale and grow on a soil of clay and limestone with a gravelly texture.
This wine's "Barrigards" moniker reflects its characteristic high spice tones, which are a hallmark of this part of the Cote de Beaune. Light-bodied and slightly nervy, the Bourgogne Rouge Les Barrigards exhibits an exuberance that makes it a fantastic partner for dishes like grilled or roasted birds, sausages over an open flame, or even a hearty "dagwood" sandwich.
On the nose, this wine presents a distinctly earthy array of autumnal red and dark fruit, leading to a palate that is supple, round, and bursting with delicious flavors. The wine's energy is lovely, offering a refreshing finish that lingers nicely on the palate.
Overall, the Edmond Cornu Bourgogne Rouge Les Barrigards is a highly refreshing wine that showcases the terroir of the region beautifully. Its exuberant character and delicious flavors make it a perfect choice for pairing with a wide range of dishes, from casual sandwiches to more refined fare.
