Louis Latour Marsannay

Past its prime, gentle floral nose followed by minimal red cherry at the front of the mouth and nothing from mid-palate on. Drunk with grilled lamb and vegetables, perhaps could pair with chicken?

Light ruby red; light aromas of red fruit and ripe cherries with some spice; medium to light bodied, dry, tart, lean on the palate, red fruit flavors; light clean finish.

Thought by most in our group to be the best wine at the party, we chose this Marsannay because we felt the always-pleasing bright red cherry of a Burgundy tempered by a subtle bit of rusticity would pair nicely with the feta, lamb, and tzatziki flatbread. Though the dish slightly dulled the brightness of the wine, the pairing ended up working quite well. This wine was also a winner with the aged gouda cheese and the strawberry chocolate cake.
