Tasting Notes

70% Gamay, 30% Pinot Noir

This bottling, selected by another of our favorite ex-pat brokers, Thomas Calder, is a blend of 70% Gamay and 30% Pinot Noir. Featuring tangy, tart red berry flavors, a touch of red apple skin, intense minerality, and plenty of energy, this bunny-labeled pink will be great with or without food. It’s a great way to end a long day, head into the weekend, or enjoy on a Sunday brunch! Yummy!

Pairing Block

Food Pairing

When in doubt, go with classic fare from the region. The area of Alsace-Lorraine has alternated between Germany and France, with each country ruling over the other for several centuries. Over time, Germany’s influence on traditional French dishes became apparent; however, it is the fusion of the two cuisines, which are so culturally distinct, that has resulted in the outstanding cuisine found there today.

About the Producer

The Lelièvre domaine was founded in the town of Lucy in the Côtes de Toul in 1971 after Jean Lelièvre decided to vinify and bottle the family’s grapes instead of selling them to neighboring winemakers. The family farms Auxerrois, Gamay, and Pinot Noir, producing three still wines and one sparkling wine. The domaine is now operated by brothers, Vincent and David Lelièvre who’s passion for the Côtes de Toul appellation and their family’s legacy is irrefutable.
