Tasting Story

The 2022 Bourgogne Rouge is an invitation to taste the electric side of Burgundy. Because Julien Altaber avoids heavy-handed winemaking, the wine retains a snappy fruit character and a mineral pulse that industrial reds often lose.

Serving Tip

Serve at 14–16°C. A light 15-minute chill helps focus the wild berry notes and highlights the wine's natural mineral energy.
