Princesse Maudite Coteaux Bourguignon Rouge

Gamay & Gamay-based Blends

A tribute to Marie de Bourgogne, known as the "Princesse Maudite » (the damned princess), only daughter  of Charles the Bold, last Duke of Burgundy from the Valois linage. The Gamay grapes are vinified in the Burgundy style to give it structure and elegance, while retaining its pleasant crispness and fruitiness. 

Tasting Notes

This Coteaux Bourguignon has a nice fruity nose with crispy, greedy cherry aromas. The mouth offers a round and gourmet attack, with aromas of ripe fruits and a final on elegant and supple tannins.

Food Pairing

This wine is ideal with a plate of cured meats, pasta, smoked and plain ham, couscous, beef stew, grilled meats, and cheese as the French Camembert and Brie.

About the Vineyard

From the Chablis and Auxerrois regions in the north to the Mâconnais region in the south, the grapes for this lovely cuvée were harvested in the rounded valleys of the Mâconnais vineyards. 3,000 hectares are dedicated to growing Coteaux Bourguignons Rouges.
