What's Pressoir Drinking - Réné Engel, yes, again....

A proper Friday Apero ala Pressoir!

A couple of weeks ago we kicked off the summer season in our Pressoir office with a celebration, Daniel’s birthday! In celebration I thought a special bottle was in order….

Sourced recently yet from a great cellar in pristine condition, this bottle of Engel Vosne-Romanée Brûlées was all that one could hope for from a great mature Burgundy, all spice and jasmine flowers in the nose, a touch of beet sugary sweetness to the palate and lovely length and vivacity on the palate. A proper kickoff to that weekend, and to toast Daniel’s special day!

We started off with this beautiful Ledru Cuvée Goulté, making the theme of the evening ‘the defunct winery apero’, and it was no slouch!
