FRANCE : BORDEAUX : MONTAGNE-SAINT-EMILION

BIODYNAMIC : Merlot, Cabernet Franc

MED-FULL BODIED, RED CURRANT, TOBACCO SPICE, EARTH, OAK


Often Bordeaux sends one's palate into oaky, tannic shock, but here's where the buck stops. Savory red fruit, warm tobacco spice, and cedar notes lay atop soft tannins.

The result of renouncing any chemicals aside from very little sulfur sets this bottle apart from the rest. Native yeast fermentation, 15 months in cement vat and barrel, minimal additions — this is Bordeaux made by a family who has been farming biodynamically for over two decades and certified by Demeter since 2013.


PAIRINGS :

Filet mignon tobacco spice and cedar find their natural echo in a char-seared filet; fine tannins don't overpower the lean cut
Rack of lamb with herbed crust savory earthiness in the wine mirrors the herbed crust; tannins love the fat
Duck confit red fruit brightness cuts through the richness; acidity refreshes where fat would cloy
