Chateau Sainte Marguerite Cuvee Fantastique Red Cru Classe (750ml)
- In stock
- Not Mevushal
Cotes de Provence has eighteen Cru Classe estates, and Chateau Sainte Marguerite is one of them. The Fayards run it as a family, and it has been farmed 100% organic since 2003. For the Cuvee Fantastique Red, Grenache and Syrah are selected from the best plots and bottled in the engraved bottle that is the estate's signature.
Mood: Provencal red, deep, refined.
A Cru Classe Provencal red done kosher, organic, and vegan, rare on all three counts. Dark berries with a thread of garrigue, and a bottle that alone earns a place on the yom tov table.
Tasting Notes
The color is deep ruby. Blackcurrant, plum, and dark cherry make up the nose, along with delicate notes of spice, vanilla, and Mediterranean herbs. Harmonious and full-bodied on the palate, it has smooth ripe tannins that carry blackberry, cassis, and a whisper of licorice. It finishes long and refined.
Food Pairing
This is a serious red for a Shabbos yom tov. It is ideal with roast lamb, herbed beef tenderloin, seared duck breast, or a mushroom-forward risotto. Aged hard cheeses are an excellent match as well.
