2019 Maison Sanglier Pinot Noir
Maison Sanglier translates to ‘House of the Wild Boar,’ which is a play on (1) our Wild Boar Cellars label (originally derived from our location on Hogback Mountain) and (2) a term traditionally used for a domain/wine producer in Burgundy. The label was created for our project in Burgundy. In late-2016, the Huber family purchased these vineyard sites in and around the famous Burgundian village of Pommard. These holdings have now been sold. Burgundian Pinot Noir is rich and complex yet not particularly heavy or strong in alcohol. Burgundy reds reflect a wide range of shades, including cherry, brick red, garnet, purplish red, ruby red, tile red and mahogany. The wine has enormous versatility when paired with food. Salmon or other fatty fish, roasted chicken or pasta dishes. It will also hold its own with duck and other game birds, casseroles, and of course, stews like beef bourguignon. Drink now through 2029!
