Levert Freres Coteaux Bourguignons 2021

From France’s Burgundy region, under the Coteaux Bourguignons AOC, this wine is crafted by Levert Frères, a historic Burgundy house established in Mercurey in 1595. Now guided by oenologist David Fernez, the estate continues a centuries-old tradition of producing approachable, terroir-driven wines that showcase both heritage and freshness. The Coteaux Bourguignons appellation offers flexibility in blending grapes from across Burgundy, resulting in expressive, versatile wines.

Wine Description
This vintage blends approximately 90% Gamay and 10% Pinot Noir, delivering a light-bodied, fruit-forward red. In the glass, it reveals a bright ruby hue. Aromas of raspberry, strawberry, and rose petals mingle with subtle earthy notes reminiscent of potting soil. On the palate, it is lively and fresh, with fine tannins, moderate acidity, and a delicate structure balanced by a generous mouthfeel. The finish is clean and subtly floral, leaving a refreshing impression.

Food Pairing
This wine’s bright fruit and soft tannins make it exceptionally food-friendly. It pairs beautifully with poultry dishes, portobello mushrooms, and classic beef bourguignon. Lighter fare such as prosciutto sandwiches or shrimp saganaki also complement its freshness.
