The 2023 Domaine Clément Lavallée Grande Roche Bourgogne Rouge is a fresh, elegant red from Burgundy’s northern Yonne region. Made from Pinot Noir, it shows bright red cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry alongside delicate florals, dried herbs, subtle spice and earthy mineral notes.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with lively acidity, juicy red fruit and fine, supple tannins. Clément Lavallée approaches his red wines with ambient yeast fermentation and gentle extraction, followed by maturation in barrel, creating a style focused on freshness, purity and site expression rather than heavy oak.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Pinot Noir drinkers who enjoy fresh, elegant Burgundy with bright fruit, fine tannins and subtle savoury complexity. Best served at cellar temperature. Ideal with roast chicken, duck, pork, mushroom dishes, charcuterie or soft cheeses.
