France: Burgundy
Mission Briefing
Burgundy Beauty
Today’s winery produces wine with the greatest respect for the traditions of Burgundy. And, they do it with elegance and style.
Today’s delicious 2011 Domaine Desertaux Ferrand is a terrific French Pinot Noir for any Burgundy fan. For drinkers of homegrown Pinot, there is plenty to love here, as well.
Drink as an aperitif or enjoy with a fine meal, this flexible wine may be enjoyed with a wide range of cuisines.
Give the wine enough time to evolve in decanter or glass - and be rewarded with more subtlety and more fruit. Enjoy now, but lay a few bottles down for the next few years for best results.
A great wine to serve with appetizers, alongside a white wine. Also great with lightly prepared poultry, duck with a cherry reduction or roasted eggplant
Tasting Profile
| Look: | Brilliant and bright ruby red with a distinctive perfect clarity. When swirled, medium-thick and widely-spaced legs ring the glass. |
|---|---|
| Smell: | Classically aromatic with layers of spiced blackberry pie, blueberry, lingonberry, and rhubarb. Complex and savory notes arise with a bit a swirling including a touch of clove, dried basil, and cardomom. |
| Taste: | Bright and juicy at the mid-palate and the tip of the tongue. Refined, integrated tannins, provide a structure for the fruit to play on. Flavors consist of native Himalayan blackberries, wild herbs, and subtle leather. |
| Finish: | Very bright, clean and textured, with a dried cranberry quality. Slightly tart and lean, this wine’s limestone minerality gradually dries the palate. |
