J. Mourat "Collection" Vin de France Rouge

Tasting Notes

The J. Mourat Collection Rouge is a juicy, fruit-forward field blend generally consisting of equal parts Pinot Noir, Gamay, and Cabernet Franc. It avoids the harsh green, vegetal notes sometimes associated with the region, offering an inviting bouquet of fresh red cherry, wild raspberry skin, cranberry, and violet, accented by a hint of thyme and crushed stones. Medium-bodied and lively, its palate reveals tart cherry and red currant framed by silky tannins, balanced acidity, and a touch of peppery spice. Best enjoyed with a slight chill to make the bright red fruits pop, it pairs wonderfully with roast chicken, mushroom tarts, grilled burgers, and cured meats.
