About
the Producer: The
Rodier Family has long been a well-established family in Dijon.
At the beginning of the 20th century, Etienne Rodier became a wine-merchant.
Etienne had a fine palate and developed a highly respected reputation
in Burgundy. He died fairly young and his son, Camille Rodier,
who created the famous Confrerie des Chevaliers du Tastevin,
took over. The wines from Etienne Rodier are famous for their elegance
and their finesse. As
reflected by the worldwide recognition these wines routinely receive,
their passion for viticulture and winemaking continues undiminished
in the current generation.
Tasting
Notes: A fresh and complex wine with beautiful
color and structure that exhibits lovely fruity aromas of wild red
and black berries, a hint of anise, and currants. There is
an easy finesse about this wine that is quite compelling.
Recommended
Food Pairings: Poultry, Grilled red meats, andmedium
hard cheeses.
