Domaine Machard de Gramont "Pressonnier"

Tasting Notes:

Generous and expressive bouquet of ripe cassis, kirsh and blackberries with subtle notes of cloves. Medium bodied with ripe plush tannins and soft acidity. Fantastic aromatic finish.

The Producer:

This Domaine certainly is old-school Burgundy: its origins, its style of wines, its attachment to traditions... Arnaud Machard de Gramont and his two sons care for their small estate with skill and diligence. The winery is an old building that looks more like a medieval church than a fermenting room. The wines age in oak barrels in underground galleries with vaulted arcades. There is something sacred in Burgundy, and at Machard's you can't miss it.
