Today we want to suggest you a great wine!!
At just £23.95 per normal size bottle and £47,95 per Magnum (1,5 l.) this is a real bargain, ideal for all sort of summer meals. A light to medium bodied Pinot Noir coming straight from the homeland of this varietal … We're obviously talking about Burgundy.
100% Pinot Noir, aged in French oak for 14 months this is an exquisite example of a traditional Burgundian Pinot Noir crafted by one of the biggest and best known producers.
Domaine Faiveley remain family owned and have one of the largest vineyard holdings in Burgundy - a total of 120 hectares including 75 in Côte Châlonnaise.
In the Châlonnaise region, just south of the main Côte d’Or, with the same limestone soils, they produce this beautiful Pinot noir from the vineyards of a village called Mercurey.
Wines produced from this appellation can be light and austere, but the best examples have subtle richness and can age very well. La Framboisière is a 11 hectares parcel entirely owned by Faiveley, to the south of the village.
Here they produce the grapes that made this excellent wine.
When you open it you quickly notice that it has a really fruity powerful nose, which mixes greedy red and black fruit aromas and woody notes. But it is on the palate that it shows its full potential, where it is powerful and fleshy with flavours of raspberry and other very ripe red fruits, almost as if we were biting into them. Its structure is powerful, with velvety tannins and a very long and fruity finish.
The wine can be easily paired with fairly aged cheeses and cold meats. You can also successfully pair it with rich poultry casseroles and light game dishes as quail. The bravest will match it with salmon or sea trout … excellent!
Don't miss this great opportunity! Come and get it at the shop or order it here!
Cheers !
