En Batayart

2014 Marsannay Red Blend

The Gerard Seguin En Batayart is a captivating red blend from the esteemed Marsannay region. This 2014 vintage exhibits a lush ruby hue that draws the eye, while its enticing aromas of dark fruit, subtle spice, and earthy undertones create an inviting bouquet. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied and demonstrates a harmonious balance of acidity and fruit intensity, delivering vibrant cherry and blackberry flavors complemented by delicate notes of licorice and tobacco. The tannins are well-integrated, adding structure without overwhelming the fruit, making this wine wonderfully approachable. As a dry offering, it reflects the character of Marsannay beautifully, providing a delightful experience that pairs wonderfully with a range of dishes or stands proudly on its own.

While it was not the first country to master winemaking, no other country has determined the course of wine and wine culture as much as France. From the sparkling wines of Champagne to the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay of Burgundy; from Bordeaux's sumptuous blends to Alsace's Riesling; and from the Loire Valley's Sauvignon Blancs to exciting new regions like Pays d'Oc in the south, France has given the world nearly all the major styles and grape varieties that dominate what we drink today. There are numerous reasons why France and wine are so inextricably linked, but perhaps the foremost is geography. Few places can rival France's unique array of hot and cool-climate regions and the abundant maritime influences and mountainous terrain found throughout the country.
