Maison Ambroise, Bourgogne Rouge (Burgundy, France) 2009

Aug 8, 2012

By Michael Apstein

 The source–a fifth of the wine comes from the appellations of Nuits St Georges and Cotes de Nuits Village–and the 45 year average age of the vines explains why this wine is so remarkable.  This very fragrant Bourgogne Rouge delivers an enchanting combination of red fruit flavors and earthy herbal notes.  Long and fresh, it’s a great introduction to Burgundy.  Bring out the roast chicken.
