Burgundy, France
Price: 133,60 €/L
The French know two ways of pairing wines with a rich cuisine. One is according to the body of the wine, as it is also common in our part of the world, and the other is the much less commonly used pairing according to complexity. A lighter-bodied wine can accompany a rich dish if it is complex enough. It is recommended with red meat, such as veal in white sauce, or soft goat cheese.

The vineyard is located near an old quarry, fresh during the year but that keeps heat in summer. The name “Les Goulots” comes from «goulottes» (waterfalls) of mountain streams.The grapes are hand-picked and 100% destemmed after sorting. After the fermentation,  the wine is aged 18 months in oak barrels (50% new oak and 50% of one-year barrels). The wines has a ruby red colour, with aromas of menthol and small wild berries, with fresh undertones. On the palate, among the taste of red fruits also elegant wooden notes of liquorice appear. The finish is well structured, rich and generous.
