Coteaux Champenois Ambonnay Red 2018

This Ambonnay Rouge 2018 is not a champagne but a still red wine from Champagne, made in small quantities only. It comes from very old Pinot vines. The 2018 vintage brought a great deal of concentration and richness to the small Pinots Noirs. The wine spent 22 months in barrel. It ranks among the greatest red wines of Champagne and is meant for drinking soon.

Serve it at 14 to 16 °C in a Burgundy glass, which gives the Pinot Noir fruit room. At the table it suits dishes with an iodine, sea-like note, and dishes with mushrooms or white meat are also a good match.
