Domaine d'Ardhuy Côte de Beaune Villages les Combottes(2004)

limestone soils produce early-ripening grapes with plenty of fruit flavors. The wine spent one year maturing in oak barrels (15% new). Domaine d'Ardhuy is an up-and-coming producer; they were recently named one of the ten most improved domaines in Burgundy by Decanter Magazine (February 2007).
A cherry red colored wine with an intense nose of red berry compôte, baked fruit, spice, and rustic herb aromas. On the palate, soft strawberry and cherry fruit is blended with exotic leather and spice notes. This medium-bodied wine has good strength and complexity with some minerality before a great finish. This is a fantastic food wine, that will highlight your favorite grilled meat, chicken, and pasta dishes, as well complement the best strong cheeses. Drink now to 2010.

Pair With: Grilled Chicken, Grilled Fish, Grilled Pork, Grilled Red Meats, Grilled Vegetables, Pasta, Veined Cheese, Washed Rind Cheese    (hide)
