Selected by Eric Griffith, Owner & General Manager, Alta Bistro, Whistler
“My wine pick today as I'm feeling the cool August weather in Whistler? A 2014 Pinot Noir (Bourgogne Rouge) from the Côte de Nuits, Burgundy, France from Fougeray de Beauclair in the town of Marsannay.
"I love the wines from northern Burgundy, especially Marsannay because they have freshness, fruit intensity, structure and texture with a wild side, which gives them a sturdiness that works well with rustic cuisine, perfect for fall chanterelle and matsutake season, maybe with herb-roasted free-run chicken.
"I taste wild raspberries, clay, earth and sweet spices. The wine has medium body, balanced acidity and medium-fine tannins with a mouth-watering finish of wild berries and earth to keep you coming back for more.
"This specific wine is not widely available and private stores will be your best bet. However its bigger brother from neighbouring town Fixin, where you can try this house's single vineyard Fixin "Clos Marion" 2012 ($56.99), is available in the BC Liquor Store–dynamite!"
