WTN: Bunny wines (pink Prosecco, red Burg, white Loire)

by Dale Williams » Mon Feb 09, 2009 10:55 am

Last night some friends had invited me over for a bunny dinner, since there was a rabbit in mustard sauce recipe in last Wed's NYT. I carried over some open wines from night before as well as a Burg. The fresh wines we tried:

NV Riondo "Pink" Prosecco
I don't remember trying a rosato prosecco before. Crisp, just a touch off-dry, strawberries, not much on finish, but pleasant enough bubbles. B/B-

2007 Clos de la Fine Muscadet Cotes de Grandlieu
Limes and saline, a bit thin, but decent flavors. B-

2002 Geantet-Pansiot "Champs Perdrix " Marsannay
This is drinking well now, and goes with with the lapin a la moutarde. Black cherries and raspberries, just a whisper of cocoa, ripe fruit but with a good backbone of acidity. Probably would fall on modern end of spectrum, but not overdone or over the top. I really quite enjoy (as do others) B++

Fun night with friends.

Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent wine, B a good wine, C mediocre. Anything below C means I wouldn't drink at a party where it was only choice. Furthermore, I offer no promises of objectivity, accuracy, and certainly not of consistency.

That Marsannay sounds appealing. I am going to have to look for more of those and the Santenays as other Burgs increase in price.
