Andy’s Wine Pairings
Add a bottle (or two) of handpicked wines from our wine director to your Bird Box meal.
Mâcon-Loché, Domaine Tripoz, 2018 Burgundy
The Côte Mâconnais is located south of the Cote d’ Or and the landscape is a little different. Vineyards planted on the rolling hills are interspersed with other crops and grazing lands. A majority of the wine produced is Chardonnay which does well in the limestone-rich soils found in the region. Loché is one of 27 villages in the area that is allowed to append its name to Mâcon because the wines are recognized for their superior quality. This energetic wine is produced by the husband and wife team of Camile and Laurent Tripoz who founded their winery in 1990 and have been growing biodynamically since 2001. They choose to ferment and age this wine in stainless steel to capture the electric acidity of this wine. All of the great wines of the world have one thing in common, balance, and this Chardonnay has it in spades. It has all the ripe fruit one expects from the 2018 vintage but it is underscored by notes of saline and wet rocks. It also has the perfect amount of acid to frame the structure of the wine and carry the finish for minutes. This will really compliment the smoked salmon crepes but has just the right amount of acidity to cut through the duck confit.
Pommard, Tavannes, Fernand & Laurent Pillot, 2016 Burgundy
Wines from the village of Pommard are prized for being the heartiest and structured in the Cote du Beaune, and this bottling will not disappoint. The Pillot Family have been working the land in burgundy since the 1800s and make wine in a very traditional way. No chemicals are used in the vineyard and fermentations occur using indigenous yeasts. This allows the grapes from each vineyard site to best express the nuances of the places where they were grown. Their parcel of the Tavannes vineyard is about 2 acres and contains red clay and limestone soils with a high concentration of iron oxide. After fermentation, the wine spends 15 months aging in French Oak barrels (1/3 new). This wine smells of cherry kirsch and wet leaves and the earthy notes will complement the duck and mushrooms perfectly!
