Bourgogne Passetoutgrain Les Vercherres "ssa" 2021

A traditional blend of Gamay (30%) and Pinot Noir (70%). Delicious juicy, spicy red wine with aromas of red fruit such as strawberry and raspberry in the scent. In the mouth slightly earthy tones with friendly acidity and tannin. This wine is made without added sulfites.

Excellent as an accompaniment to duck rillettes.
