Exclusive by Wine Peers

Country/ Region:
Marsannay, Burgundy, France

Background:
The Pierre Gruber Marsannay Rouge 2018 is a village-level 100% Pinot Noir from the northernmost appellation of Burgundy's Côte de Nuits. It is crafted using traditional methods—hand-harvested and aged in oak barrels for 8 to 12 months—to balance rich, dark red fruit flavors with structured, refined tannins.

Winemaking:
After being hand-harvested, the grapes are put into stainless steel tanks for pre-fermentation maceration for 2 to 4 days. Then, alcoholic fermentation is begun using nothing but natural starters. Malolactic fermentation and ageing take place in oakbarrels for 8 to 12 months.

Grapes: 100% Pinot Noir

Tasting note:
This wine have intense coloration and a bouquet which smoothly blends red fruits (morello cherry, strawberry) and black (blackcurrant, blueberry). In the mouth, the attack is powerful and generous shading into a long and meaty finish.

Food Pairing:
This Marsannay is a natural partner for red meats: beef blade or rib steak, or flank steak with shallots, ostrich steak... It is also ideal with freshwater fish or chop suey and vegetable stir-fries, fine cured meats, game fowl, cheeses made from cow’s milk... An oldvintage will add a touch of perfection to full-flavoured cheeses.
