I like Bananas, Strawberries and grapes

Close du Tue-Boeuf
Cheverny Rouge
$20.00



Nose: Strawberry, Cherry, Banana - very fruity.
Palate: rice, ash, cherry dominant, with a rocky mineraly finish.
I suggest eating with: stew/meat heavy dishes.


So evident that there is Gamay and not just Pinot Noir in this wine - the Bananas are a dead give away.  But it is a pretty nice blend, very fruity aromatics, and a smooth body.  I do totally see this as a stew wine.  Which given the sudden turn back to cold weather makes me want to cube up some lamb and turn on the crock pot.
