2023 Domaine du Comte Armand Bourgogne Rouge Riesling or aged cheese — and

or aged cheese — and drink it like the special occasion it is

with a smooth mid-palate and a long finish that carries both the richness of 2023 and the limestone grip that defines this vineyard

much later than the end of year time frame preferred by more commercial producers

created Cardamaro Vino Amaro in the 1950s after she became fascinated with the physiological properties of the locally grown cardoon

2023 Domaine du Comte Armand Bourgogne Rouge Riesling or aged cheese — andFewer than 300 cases made. Red cherry, cranberry, violet, a little earth everything you want from a village level Burgundy and nothing you don't. This is Comte Armand, one of the great old families of the Cte de Beaune, farming the same ground since 1826, certified organic and biodynamic since Pascal Marchand showed up in 1984 and quietly changed everything. No fining, no filtration, native yeast, lunar calendar. Two centuries of getting it right.
