From: Franche-Comte, France
Varietal: Pinot Noir
The Pinot Noir is grown on the marly soil of the area and finds a fleshy, juicy quality that makes for a precise, elemental style of wine. Vinified in stainless-steel vats, this is Pinot Noir that is approachable to a wide audience.
Tasting Notes: Guillaume's 2019 rouge is quintessential Pinot Noir in a quaffable, silky tannin, and fresh-fruited style while staying true to its alpine-influenced, rural roots. In the glass, you'll find lots of crunchy red fruit, such as cranberry and redcurrant, on a vibrant palate packed with bright, citrusy freshness. Slightly rustic but also preppy at the same time. Intensely scented, mildly spicy aromas meld into an elegantly balanced and fruit-driven wine, in which suppleness and acidity match each other perfectly.
Pairing: Vinified in stainless-steel vats, this is Pinot Noir for fish, white meats, and a wide range of cheeses. Just like its Burgundian counterparts, this Pinot Noir will also pair beautifully with mushroom dishes. We’re excited by the idea of this Mushroom Ragout Omelet by Martha Rose Shulman. The mushroom ragout is a supremely luxurious filling for a simple omelet.
