Domaine Rene Bouvier Bourgogne Le Chapitre Suivant 2014
This red wine is clad in a beautiful, eye-catching ruby. The dashing nose with good intensity, explores the whole range of fresh fruit. On the palate, the attack is fresh, and develops with a good mouthfeel. Frisky and dashing, this wine is a good way to discover Burgundy and Pinot Noir. It will accompany braised veal, quasi of veal with cardamom gravy, roasted poultry, or pork cooked simply in meat juices.
