The 2018 Eric Rodez Ambonnay Grand Cru Les Beurys Pinot Noir is a still red wine from Champagne, known as Coteaux Champenois. The 2018 vintage in Champagne saw a mild and wet autumn/winter, followed by a very sunny spring and summer, leading to healthy vines and plentiful, ripe grape bunches. The wines from this vintage are characterized by freshness, fruitiness, elegance, and delicacy. For Les Beurys, specifically, it's noted as a 'fully packed, vivid and juicy' wine, serious and truly expressive of Ambonnay. Tasting notes reveal great Pinot Noir fruits with red apple and red currants, alongside a spicy and broad character with excellent backend acidity. It offers a round, full, and complex nose, with a creamy yet light texture, hints of honey and vanilla. Expect good grip, power, a salty depth, and plum notes. Other descriptions include blackberry, cinnamon, salty pastry, and a briny savour with expansive complexity and apple blossom prettiness. It is wonderfully spicy and fragrant, showing oranges, flowers, cherry blossoms, raspberries, and pastries on the nose, with a ripe, supple, and delicious palate, full of character and transparency, leading to a bright, balanced finish. For food pairings, this still Pinot Noir from Champagne is versatile. It goes well with rich fish like salmon and tuna, as well as mild and soft cheeses. General Pinot Noir pairings suggest grilled salmon, roasted chicken, duck, mushroom risotto, and pork tenderloin. This wine is an excellent choice for those seeking a unique and serious expression of still Pinot Noir from the prestigious Ambonnay Grand Cru. It's ideal for a discerning dinner, a special occasion, or for exploring the nuanced world of Coteaux Champenois. 【 This is a single vineyard expression of Ambonnay terroir, vinified in small oak barrels with no malolactic fermentation, no industrial cold stabilizing, and no filtering, preserving its origin and reflecting Eric Rodez's biodynamic commitment. 】
