Margot Wine Margot Invites You to Join Us on a Tour Through the Cellars of Our Favorite Organically Farming, Artisan-Scale Producers margot wine margot invites you to join us on a tour through the cellars of our favorite organically farming, artisan-scale producers. the geographical focus of our wine program mirrors that of our menu i.e. the mediterranean and adjacent regions. We believe the inimitable wines of coastal italy, spain and france, are not only among the most exciting on earth, but also the most compatible with margot’s cuisine. still, we strive to offer a variety of wines representing a broad diversity of styles and regions, so please don’t feel confined. a bounty of unique and storied wines curated through years of exploration await. the wine list is arranged geographically, with each area’s producers divided into two sub-categories, classic and progressive. classic denotes a broadly recognized, region-defining estate with deep familial and historical roots – these are the benchmarks and standard bearers. progressive producers, on the other hand, are less burdened by convention and tradition. these young women and men are attracting a new generation of wine drinkers by pushing boundaries in the cellar and vines, and producing wines that are often as thrilling as they are atypical. thank you, the margot wine team wine by the glass

popularity is surely attributed to its high-drinkability factor that is very difficult to resist, but there’s another side to rosé: the gastronomic side. we look to showcase both. the deliciousness of rosé’s many shades, from the pale pink styles of france to the darkly-huded rosato wines of southern Italy, are always a staple at margot. white burgundy jean collet guillot-broux chardonnay, 2014

inspiration. following an apprenticeship under venerable chassagne montrachet master jean-marc morey, he returned home to bottle whites unlike any other in the region: aromatic, vibrant, and alive. we

  • Brachetto D'acqui DOCG | 75 Cl
    Piemonte Guasti Clemente Brachetto d'Acqui DOCG | 75 cl Brachetto is an aromatic red Italian wine grape variety grown predominantly in the Piedmont region of northwest Italy. At one time the grape was thought to be related to the French wine grape Braquet, but recent thought among ampelographers is that the two are distinct varieties. In Italy’s region of Piedmont the grape is somewhat more widespread: production mostly falling within an area of the provinces of Asti and Alessandria between the rivers Bormida and Belbo plus various parts of the province of Cuneo. The most notable wine here is the red Brachetto d'Acqui Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita (DOCG) which is mainly known in the fully sparkling version. DENOMINATION: Brachetto d'Acqui DOCG GRAPES: 100% Brachetto REGION: Vineyards are situated in the area of Mombaruzzo. SOIL COMPOSITION: Chalky and clay soil. VINE TRAINING SYSTEM: Simple Guyot HARVEST: Manual harvest of the grapes between the end of August and the beginning of September. PRESSING: Soft pressing of the grapes. VINIFICATION: Slow fermentation of the must and sparkling process in autoclave. AGEING: The wine stays in the autoclave for at least two months and then it is cold fill bottled. ALCOHOL: 6.50 % vol TASTING NOTES: Lively, medium-intense, ruby-red colour. Wide-ranging nose and with an aromatic touch that distinguishes it, very delicate. Best served at a temperature of 10-12°C. FOOD PAIRING: At the end of the meal it pairs with sweets and fruit, excellent with strawberries. Code: GS BRACH Distribuito da: Viver Distribuzione S.r.l.

  • All Red April
    WINE NO. 1 Margins Counoise 96% Counoise + 4% Mourvèdre Sattler’s Vineyard, Santa Clara Valley, California 2020 RE-ORDER: $27 GRAPE: COUNOISE [ku-nwaz ] Counoise is a unique menu item from the Southern Rhône, not typically served à la carte but as a spicy ingredient added to blends. It is one of the 13 grapes allowed in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, but it makes up barely a fraction of its vines. There are only a handful of plantings in California, but as it is vigorous and loves the warm and semi-arid Rhône valley, it may be catching on. It is sort of a goldilocks grape, not too dark in color, not too high in acid, tannin or alcohol, and that hint of cracked pepper is juuuust right. WINEMAKER: Margins’ name reflects the idea that vineyards, grapes, and regions can be outcasts just like underrepresented folks in society. Margins is the work of Megan Bell, seeking to give much deserved attention to the “other” vineyards and varietals throughout northern California. Her small project is based in the Santa Cruz Mountains but she has experience all over the world: apprenticing in Napa, Livermore Valley, Willamette Valley, New Zealand, and the Loire Valley, and receiving a BS in Vit and Enology from UC Davis. She works with growers to transition to organic farming by providing informed advice, and assurance that their grapes have a home in her cellar. The Counoise comes from Ed Sattler’s 2.7 acre backyard vineyard planted in 2009 - a hot, dry site with an intense diurnal swing (and not quite enough elevation to make it in the SCM AVA.) They’ve been converting to organic and this is one of Megan’s proudest accomplishments.

The visit began with a tour of several Languedoc vignerons. This area is considered by many to be the most innovative in France, producing soft rustic red blends based on several of the traditional Mediterranean grapes used in the southern Rhône valley, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Grenache and/or Carignan. The vin de pays wines are far less traditional and seem to dominate. The producers we visited were not concerned with not bottling under AOC appellation labels. The soils of the region vary notably from alluvial near the sea to more chalk, gravel and limestone. Many of the better vineyards, such as Mas de Daumas Gassac, that we visited are planted not on the plain but on relatively high, cool plateaus. Institut Coopératif du Vin (ICV).

    Florian Bergl on Lagrein How do you characterize the profile/character of lagrein? Are there any other more familiar red varietals to compare it to? Lagrein ist a powerful ambassador of Alto Adige. Although it had nearly died out by the end of the 1970s, Lagrein has nowadays gained a big fan community. The indigenous wine, filled with character, has its roots in Bolzano and is impressive with its velvety fullness and soft acidity. The noble, spicy tones are accompanied by fruity berries, fresh cherries, and violets. When aged in small oak casks, Lagrein unfolds its elegant, full‐bodied presence. A rosé version is also made from the grape, known as “Lagrein Rosato” (or “Lagrein Kretzer”). The Lagrein is very similar to the Terlodego grape from Trentino. Both show not only optical similarities, such as the strong and dark colour of the wine, but also a rustic, fruity and rugged character. How does terroir and microclimates in Alto Adige come into play with lagrein? The Lagrein needs a lot of warmth for its successful ripeness. The key growing area for Lagrein lies therefore in the valley basin of Bolzano, the Capital city of Alto Adige. In the south‐facing, almost level vineyards at 850 feet above sea‐level, the vines find their ideal terroir. In combination with the sandy porphyry‐based alluvial soils, the warmth stored in the almost entirely enclosed Bolzano basin enables the grapes to achieve the full maturity that gives the wines their typical velvety mellowness. Tell me a bit about the lagrein(s) you make (that are available in the U.S.), including a personal tasting note, full name and vintage, suggested retail price and food pairing suggestion.

    TENUTA WWW.ARRIGONI1913.IT "Sciacchetrà Riserva" - CinqueTerre D.o.c The Cinque Terre Sciacchetrà is amongst the rarest Italian wine and it is one of the best known. The ancient Romans produced it, Boccaccio speaks of it in his writings and Pope Paul III defined it as a “smoky wine of great aroma, with the colour of gold, agreeable but not sweet, not to be consumed during the course of a full meal; a nutritious wine especially for the elderly”. It is obtained by allowing the best grapes of the Cinque Terre area to wither over a long period of time. After fermentation it is matured and refined in high quality small wooden casks for at least one year. We mature and refine our Sciacchetrà for at least two or three years, depending on the singular characteristics of each harvest. In the local dialeet, the word “schiacchetrà” means “press it and forget about it for a long while”. This is the wine for grand occasions, very important festivities and anniversaries. CLASSIFICATION: Cinque Terre Sciacchetrà DOC GRAPES: Mainly Bosco; some Albarola and Vermentino COLOUR & BOUQUET: Golden yellow with amber hues.
