Domaine Naudin-Ferrand - Viola Odorata 2023
Viola Odorata 2023 from Domaine Naudin-Ferrand is a red Burgundy wine that finely and transparently expresses the natural elegance of Pinot Noir grown in the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune. The light ruby, bright and luminous color announces a wine full of delicacy and precision. The nose opens with clear aromas of fresh cherry, raspberry, and redcurrant, complemented by subtle floral notes evoking violet and peony. Upon aeration, nuances of mild pepper, light undergrowth, and fresh earth appear, bringing depth and complexity. The whole is airy, pure, and very readable, without any heaviness. From the first sniff, the wine asserts a decidedly elegant and sincere identity.
On the palate, the attack is supple and slender, supported by a fine acidity that naturally stretches the body. The texture is delicate, almost silky, supported by extremely fine tannins that structure the wine without ever hardening it. The flavors of crunchy red fruits dominate, accompanied by a discreet mineral framework and a refined spicy touch. The gentle vinification and measured aging fully respect the expression of the grape variety and the terroir, allowing the wine to evolve with fluidity and precision. The palate retains a beautiful energy while remaining digestible and harmonious. The finish is clean, persistent, marked by fresh fruit and an elegant sensation of purity.
Viola Odorata 2023 is a fine gastronomy wine, as charming at the table as in attentive tasting. It ideally accompanies roasted poultry, tender veal, mushroom dishes, or refined vegetarian cuisine. Its fine structure and natural freshness also allow it to pair with lightly aged soft cheeses. Served around 14 to 15 °C, slightly chilled, it fully reveals its brilliance and aromatic precision. Already very expressive in its youth, it can evolve harmoniously over a few years, gaining complexity and floral and spicy nuances. It is an elegant, sensitive, and deeply Burgundian Pinot Noir, faithful to the exacting vision of Domaine Naudin-Ferrand.
