The Champagne Marguet Coteaux Champenois Bouzy Rouge 2022 is a rare and exceptional still red wine from Champagne, showcasing that Bouzy is not only home to great Champagnes but also outstanding still wines. This strictly limited cuvée is crafted from 100% Pinot Noir grown on the Grand Cru chalk soils of Bouzy, spontaneously fermented, and aged for 19 months in wooden barrels without added sulfur. Only around 1,000 bottles of this wine were produced, making it a highly sought-after expression. 【It's a fascinating food companion for poultry, veal, or fine game dishes and an enrichment for any sophisticated wine collection.】 **Tasting Notes:** The bouquet combines red currants, wild strawberries, cherries, and fine spices with a distinctive chalky minerality. On the palate, the wine is silky, precise, and remarkably fresh, with fine-grained tannins, saline tension, and an elegant, long finish that gives it a Burgundian feel without denying its Champagne origins. Early tastings describe it as having perfectly ripe summer berries, sweet juicy cherries mixed with vanilla, and a complex, round mouthfeel, like a dry dessert in a bottle. **Food Pairing:** This Bouzy Rouge is an excellent companion for poultry, veal, or fine game dishes. Its fresh, fruity profile also makes it a perfect summer red, suitable for pairing with apéro all the way to a whole meal. Consider pairing it with roasted chicken, duck breast, or even a mushroom risotto to complement its earthy and fruity notes. **Event Suggestions:** Given its rarity and character, this wine is ideal for a special dinner with discerning guests, a wine tasting focused on unique regional expressions, or as a prized addition to a collector's cellar. It's also a wonderful choice for those looking to explore the lesser-known, still wine side of Champagne.
