Benoit Daridan 2023 "L'Intemporel" Cheverny Rouge

Tasting Notes

The Benoit Daridan 2023 "L'Intemporel" Cheverny Rouge is a fresh and elegant red wine crafted in the Loire Valley. Mimicking the style of a traditional Burgundy Passetoutgrain, this wine features a classic Cheverny blend of 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Gamay. On the nose, it displays a deep garnet reflection and is dominated by an expressive bouquet of fresh red berries, including strawberry, red currant, and cherry, nuanced by subtle earthy undertones, light leather, and baking spices. The palate delivers a frank and energetic attack with pronounced acidity and a light-to-medium body, offering a wonderful tartness on the finish supported by fine, silky tannins.For the best tasting experience, this low-intervention, organic wine is ideally served slightly chilled at 14 to 16°C (57 to 61°F). 

Its high acidity and vibrant fruit profile make it incredibly versatile for food pairings. It serves as a beautiful accompaniment to light aperitifs and regional charcuterie. For a main course, it pairs excellently with duck breast served with a red berry reduction, a traditional coq au vin, or roasted white meats. It also complements a cheese board featuring local goat cheeses like Crottin de Chavignol, and can even carry through to a dark chocolate dessert.
