2020 Didon Bourgogne Rouge Cuvee Longue
Bourgogne Rouge is a still, dry red wine produced under the Bourgogne appellation in Burgundy, France, primarily from Pinot noir grapes. Its production emphasizes a minimalist and natural style, with some estates—such as Domaine Didon—adhering to biodynamic and sustainable vineyard practices. The winemaking approach is designed to allow the terroir to impart its distinctive nuances, resulting in a wine with light intensity, medium acidity, and lower tannins. Typically intended as an aperitif, it is often served at 16°C to best preserve its clear expression of Burgundian characteristics.
