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...
