TASTING NOTES:
This wine comes from Burgundy and displays the typical terroir of this fabulous region. The colour is a brilliant garnet and, on the nose, has aromas of vanilla and fresh fruit.
In the mouth succulent tastes of lively fruit with a delicious long finish.
Food and Pairing:
A superb and marvellous accompaniment to Charcuteries, steaks white meats and or un plateau de fromage.
The Wine:
Coteaux Bourguignons (formerly Bourgogne Grand Ordinaire or Bourgogne Ordinaire) is a generic appellation for red, white, and rosé wines made in parishes the length and breadth of Burgundy. It was introduced in 1937, with its name derived from the fact that these were very much everyday wines. Grand Ordinaire was the name given to otherwise ordinary bottles of wine saved for consumption on Sundays. It has now been updated to the rather less modest Coteaux Bourguignons, although the Grand Ordinaire title may still be used by producers.
The red wines that fall under the appellation are produced predominantly from Pinot Noir and Gamay grapes, although the less well-known red variety César is permitted in Burgundy's more-northerly communes. As is the case in most of Burgundy's red wines, the white varieties Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris may also be used in red wine blends, but only up to a maximum of 15 percent.
The white wines are made from Chardonnay, Aligoté, Melon de Bourgogne and Pinot Blanc, and make up only one-quarter of the appellation's total annual output.
Grape Variety:
Pinot Noir and Gamay grapes
