On the nose it shows aromas of currants, wild herbs and baking spices with some incense. It's medium- to full-bodied with creamy tannins and texture. Dense, generous and well rounded, with a fruity finish”.\u003cbr\u003e- 90 points, James Suckling\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood Pairing:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePays homage to lamb in any shape or form.

Easily in the top 10 most beautiful estates and wines that are equally sought after, this estate actually used to be one of my competitors within the Kermit Lynch portfolio. They were a similar size, similar prices from the same region doing sustainable farming. Then in 2015, I learned that the estate and Kermit Lynch decided to part ways. It would only be 3 years later when they found out that I was in the process of putting together a group of producers to work with in export markets that they asked me to help them re-establish their American market. Gilles Habit, the resident vigneron for 20+ years, continues to apply his \"savoir-faire\" to craft these stunning cuvees and we have built a foundational partnership. What an honor and great challenge to work with such a top level estate!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0749\/6918\/6563\/files\/Chareau_Saint_Martin_Bronzinelle_tech_sheet.pdf?v=1744821792\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Tech Sheet\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eTech Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chateau Saint Martin De La Garrigue","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46736362307843,"sku":"P194004","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0749\/6918\/6563\/files\/BronzinelleRouge_59dac145-32fc-4673-a7b5-a5ff94d172e2.png?v=1744822264"},{"product_id":"eric-vairet-cotes-de-nuits-villages-rouge-2020-750ml","title":"Eric Vairet Cotes de Nuits Villages Rouge 2020 (750ml)","description":"\u003cp\u003e100% Pinot Noir\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom a sustainably-farmed parcel of 40 year old vines planted on clay\/limestone soils located in the southern end of Nuits- Saint George, right next to the 1er cru Nuits Saint Georges Clos de la Marechal, and the village of Corgoloin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTraditional, cold maceration, punch-down and pumping-over twice a day, fermentation takes 12-15 days.

Indeed, Eric Vairet and Damien Gachot, childhood friends, have always had the passion for wine. Moreover, Eric Vairet has been producing wines from the Gachot Monot estate since 1994 and participates in the production of recognized wines. So it was quite naturally that they wanted to go further by creating a trading company with the aim of offering their customers (or friends?) the best Burgundy wines at an excellent quality\/price ratio. Combining Damien Gachot's experience with Eric Vairet's passion, Maison Vairet combines seriousness and quality in the various products it offers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0749\/6918\/6563\/files\/Eric_Vairet_tech_sheet.pdf?v=1744823846\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Tech Sheet\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eTech Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison Vairet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46736362406147,"sku":"P204006","price":52.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0749\/6918\/6563\/files\/Cotes_de_Nuits_Villages_Rouge.png?v=1744824341"}],"url":"https:\/\/provintners.com\/collections\/vive-la-friendsgiving.oembed","provider":"ProVintners","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
