Key information

Probable tasting profile

Given its exceptional age, the aromatic profile of this bottle may vary significantly depending on its state of conservation. A very old Burgundy Pinot Noir may, when well preserved, offer nuances of faded red fruit, dried cherry, undergrowth, autumn leaves, old leather, gentle spices, damp earth, faded rose and delicate tertiary aromas.

On the palate, a wine from 1934 may be very fragile, light, patinated and deeply evolved. The interest of such a bottle lies as much in its emotion, history and rarity as in the tasting itself. Each old bottle has its own evolution and should be approached with care.

Refined food pairings

To respect the fragility of an old Pinot Noir, delicate, restrained and lightly seasoned dishes are recommended.

• Roast poultry or poularde with morels
• Veal fillet in a light sauce
• Delicately prepared quail or pigeon
• Mushroom risotto
• Mature soft-textured cheeses

Dishes that are too powerful, too sweet or too heavily spiced should be avoided in order to preserve the wine’s aromatic finesse and fragile structure.

Serving advice

A Burgundy bottle from 1934 must be handled with extreme care. It is recommended to stand the bottle upright several hours before opening, allowing any natural sediment to settle at the bottom.

Opening should be slow and delicate, ideally with a corkscrew suited to very old corks. Prolonged decanting is not recommended. It is preferable to taste the wine immediately after opening, then adjust aeration according to its evolution in the glass.
