The Pinot Noir grapes used to make Le Clos d’Augustin are selected from pristine vineyards located in the Côte Chalonnaise between the Maconnais region and the Côte d’Or in Burgundy. This cooperative opened in 1928 and was amongst the very first of its kind in Burgundy. Clear, ruby red in the glass, the wine bursts forward with bouquets of red and black berries like blackcurrant, blackberry and gooseberry with just a hint of pepper. Hints of incense and smoke meld into crisp raspberry and red cherry on the palate which are lifted with a slight acidic edge. A lightly tannic structure adds balance and pleasantly persistent finish. Pairs beautifully with traditional Boeuf Bourguignon, herb roasted pork or poultry and soft cheeses such as Brie, Camembert or goat's cheese.
