Maison Ambroise dates back to the 18th century when only a few parcels had been planted around Nuits-Saint-Georges in Burgundy. Bertrand Ambroise took over the vineyard from his father-in-law in 1987, and is now run by his son and daughter. They have been working on developing the winery`s organic philosophy and were certified by Ecocert in 2013.
A blend of parcels around Nuits, including vines up to 80 years old in Les Fleurieres and Les Maladieres. After a long maceration of around 4 weeks, the wine is pressed to French oak where it ages for 14 months.
A deeply coloured and rich style of Burgundy, with blackberry and black cherry fruit, lots of savoury and exotic spice and a subtle floral character on the nose. Quite voluptuous on the first taste but balanced beautifully by a framework of fine tannins and moreish supporting acidity on the excellently poised finish. This is a Burgundy to pair with robust flavours such as roasted goose, soy-glazed aubergines or mushroom wellington
