2014 Marguet Ambonnay Grand Cru Les Saints Rémys


100% pinot noir
Disgorged Sept 2019
Zero dosage

First time enjoying a wine from Benoît Marguet. It is lovely and impossible to put down once you get started drinking it. Produced from a parcel of old-vine Pinot Noir on the Bouzy side of Ambonnay. Racy acidity frames beautiful grand cru fruit. In an early drinking window with lots of air. I think this will be going even stronger in five years.

Paired with:

Tapas
Jámon + Manchego Croquetas
Grilled Chorizo + Figs in a balsamic reduction

Main
Wood fire grilled whole Branzino with rosemary + acorn squash + crispy potatoes 

Dessert 
Absolutely mind blowing olive oil cake sprinkled with sea salt, warm out of the oven...
