I had the privilege of sampling eight Domaine Tortochot wines at a recent event and was wowed by all of them.  This wine is the ‘entry level’ wine for this producer and it’s delicious.

In the glass is purple in color pushing me for that first sniff.  Beautiful fruity nose and aromas finishing with slightly spicy notes.  Really nice lighter-bodied Grand Vin de Bourgogne.

Pairings:  Grilled chicken or duck. Seared tuna.

Style: Red

Grape Type(s): Pinot Noir

Region: Burgundy, France

Around $40

Vibrant purple in the glass (like it already).  There’s a little smoke on the intense ripe fruit nose (like it even more).  On the palate, it’s a mouthful of cherries with a medium body that offers a long sweet finish (love it).

Style: Red Wine

Grape Type(s): Pinot Noir

Region: Burgundy, France

Around $25
