Coteaux Bourguignons (Red)

Origine

All Les Vignerons de Mancey’s vineyard slopes, located in and around the commune of Mancey. This recent appellation (2011) permits the blending of various grape varieties, including the Gamay and Pinot Noir.   

Vinification

A proportion of the grapes are harvested by hand. After destemming, the grapes go into vat, where they are cooled and kept in a state of pre-fermentation, with the aim of obtaining a fresh and fruity wine.  Fermentation then starts and lasts 5-7 days. After a light pressing, the wine goes into vat where it will be aged and then bottled in the spring following the harvest.   

Notes de dégustation

This wine has a delectable-looking red hue and is very fruity and supple on the nose with cherry and raspberry aromas accentuated by a hint of spice. On the palate, the wine is smooth, plump, yet shows a lovely backbone.  

Mets d'accompagnements

It will pair well with charcuterie, ham on the bone, quiches or pasta dishes. Best served slightly cool for a red. This wine is not intended for ageing and can be kept for 2-5 years.
