The organic Santenay from Muzard

I had already tried a wine from Muzard's rented vineyards; this time I got some wine from their own holdings from Santenay for the doctors association wine dinner. Their holdings include a village level lieu-dit Champs Claude with old vines and three premier cru vineyards, Clos des Mouches, Clos de Tavannes and Maladieres. The limited budget for the dinner meant that I went for the Champs Claude Vieilles Vignes.

The wine was a dark ruby, with a rich berry nose. The palate was sweet acid with berry notes, with a dried plum (話梅) acidic backbone. This was paired with the boeuf bourguignon, and it did not clash, though a bit light for the stew.
