Domaine Maurice ECARD Savigny les Beaune 2005

Domaine Maurice ECARD Savigny-les-Beaune 2005


Not a very excellent vintage for Burgundy but anyway it is ready to drink at this moment. Powerpack with fruits (red berries&strawberries) and floral scents, this 100% Bourgogne Pinot Noir is just a simple village wine. Nicely tackle with firm tannins and has a short but elegant finish. I paired it with some succulent roasted pork (a-la chinese traditional) and it does marries really well. The fruitiness and friendly tannins of the wine just bring out the best of the roasted pork and cut through its oils.Best enjoy it with bunch of good friends around in a lazy evening but this time we enjoy adequate amount of alcohol just for a gathering with Kuga and fellow classmates.

tasted on 25th March 2011- han in Ribs by Vintry

E.GUIGAL COTE DU RHONE 2005

E.Guigal Cote du Rhone 2005

Simple yet refined!

Lusicous red with aromas of candy like flavors. topped with some dried herbs aromas and spices, this medium body slightly sweetish style of wine with soft tannins are just so nice with portobello mushroom and pork belly. Suited with Asian palatte, this Cote du Rhone is in an affordable price.

Cote du Rhone situated in Southern Rhone in south east France and mostly blended with 3 major grape varities such as Grenache, Syrah and Mouvedre.
