François Gaunoux Beaune Premier Cru Clos des Mouches 2021

This is an elegant and round Pinot Noir with classic Beaune style: red berries, an earthy and spicy character, fresh acidity and soft, moderate tannins. You'll get the best matches by sticking to medium-bodied dishes, where the earthy tone in the wine can play together with an earthy or mushroomy flavor in the food, while the acidity cuts nicely through fat and poultry. Think poultry, light meats and charcuterie rather than hearty stews, and feel free to let mushrooms or a lightly herbed sauce tie things together. For cheese, semi-firm sheep's and cow's milk cheeses work particularly well, because the wine's acidity and mild tannins match their nutty complexity.
