Cuvée Marie Ragonneau Marsannay Pinot Noir

A bit on the smoky side but real lean and maybe a little wound up.

From an area know more for its chards. Soft red fruit aromas. Soft is a good descriptor. Too soft for me and did not support the duck breast we had as our entree

Not ready, acidic and tart. Had some hint of fruit!

Opened up with time. Bold and fruit forward. Could use some additional cellar time. Katie didn't love it.

Funky and tart, like a barn rave. It's been a few months since I've gotten to flirt with Burgundy proper, and I'm glad to be back. Pairing with chicken cacciatore, to bring out the herbaceous, wet-hay-like gaminess that makes wine like this perfect for dinner tonight. While the tart acidity isn't usually my first choice, it balances my dinner masterfully. I bet in 3-5 years, the barrel spice, fruit, and acidity will marry well.
