Absolutely a knockout wine. One of the best I’ve had in recent memory.
Reminds me of a story. About 13 years ago my then girlfriend (now wife) and I were living in Chicago. The owner of a small wine shop called Knightsbridge saw we were into wine and pulled out a bottle with a purple label that I had never seen before. That of course was Sylvain Pataille’s Marsannay - I remember buying a half case for under $25/bottle. We were still early in our burgundy exploration then, but that wine really turned us onto Burgundy in general and the “less heralded” appellations specifically.
Trying this took me back to that moment. Not that this is the same as the Pataille wines, but just the pure sense of discovery and deliciousness - even with value - that you could find back then.
This is perfect paired with roast chicken with mushrooms cooked in the chicken fat. Dense and mouth filling, with incredible dark red fruit, a bit of balsamic, and great acid. Just f’n delicious.
